Porn is a 47-year-old rice farmer from Cambodia. She has two daughters, one son, and one grandchild. She enjoys listening to the monks pray on the radio when she has free time at home.
Four months ago, Porn developed a cataract in her left eye, causing her blurry vision and photophobia. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Porn learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for three and a half hours seeking treatment. On March 9th, doctors will perform a small incision cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in her left eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $229 procedure.
“I hope that I can see better so I can return to planting rice and can go outside on my own,” she shared.

Porn underwent cataract surgery.
Porn’s surgery was quick and successful, and she has now regained sight in her left eye. Sorn spent one night in the hospital’s ward and has now returned to her homeland. She is required to rest and apply antibiotic eye drops multiple times per day to prevent infection.
Porn’s husband is very happy that she can see clearly again, unlike before, and she can go back to working. He is glad that he does not have to worry about her.
“I am so happy that I can see clearly and I can continue working at the rice field, going wherever I want to again,” Porn said.
