Meet Sok, a 53-year old man from Cambodia who lives with his wife and three children.
“Sok has cataracts in both eyes that make it very hard for him to watch TV, do work on the farm, see the faces of his family, and to go anywhere by himself,” explains our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC). “Sok chooses not to ask anyone for help, so he is not as productive on the farm and moves very slowly.”
For just $225, Sok will receive surgery to remove his cataracts and restore his vision. The surgery on the left eye will take place first, followed by the surgery on his right eye 1-2 weeks later.
“After surgery, Sok looks forward to doing better work on the farm, watching boxing again, and going anywhere without worrying about his safety,” concludes CSC.
