Thun is a 61-year-old rice farmer who is married with one son, four daughters, and six grandchildren. He likes to listen to the news on the radio and join ceremonies at the pagoda in his free time. Thun knew about medical partner CSC from a person in his village who had surgery here before. He traveled for three hours with his nephew to reach CSC for treatment.
Thun developed a cataract in each eye about four months ago causing him blurred vision and cloudy lenses. It is difficult for him to see things clearly, do any work, and go anywhere outside.
After cataract surgery and lens implant in each eye, he will be able to see clearly again. Thun’s surgery occurred on October 20, 2016.
Thun says, “I hope that I can see everything more clearly than now so that I can do any work easily and go anywhere outside by myself without needing to disturb another person to take care of me.” Thun’s nephew says, “I hope my uncle can see everything more clearly so that I don’t have to worry about his vision loss anymore.”

Thun underwent successful cataract surgery.
Thun’s eye cataract was successfully removed from his right eye, and clear vision has been restored. Following the operation, he was given eye drops to reduce inflammation and fight bacterial infections.
Thun returned home after surgery, and he has not returned for the same treatment in his left eye. Returning to the clinic can be difficult for patients, as it requires them to take time off work and travel with a family escort. Now that vision has been restored to one eye, however, the second surgery is less urgent than the first. Treatment will be free whenever Thun returns.
“I am happy that I can see clearly again,” says Thun. “I can do any work easily and go anywhere by myself. There is no need to bother others to take care of me anymore.”
