Sovan is a 15-year-old girl from Cambodia. She is the oldest in a family of three children, and enjoys playing games on the phone in her free time.
Sovan has ptosis in her right eye. Ptosis occurs when the eyelid droops over the eye. This condition makes it difficult for Sovan to carry out daily activities as it impairs her vision.
Sovan traveled to our medical partner’s care center to receive treatment. On February 13, surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), will perform an eyelid correction procedure to improve her vision. Now, Sovan needs help to raise $292 to fund this procedure.
Her mother says, “I hope the surgery is successful so that my daughter can see clearly and feel confident when she is out with friends.”

Sovan underwent eye surgery.
Sovan’s operation went smoothly and she has returned home. Her eye is a little bit swollen after surgery, but she’s been given drops to reduce inflammation and prevent infection. Following surgery, Sovan’s eyelid has been lifted, improving her vision and confidence.
She says, “I am very happy that my eye not only looks better, but that I can also feel better and am not shy around my friends.”
