Pov is a chief village assistant from Cambodia. He has three daughters, four sons, and eleven grandchildren. He likes listening to social programs and the news on the radio.
Five months ago, Pov developed a cataract in his left eye, causing him blurred vision, tearing, irritation, and photophobia. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Pov learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, he traveled for two and a half hours seeking treatment. On May 2, doctors will perform a small incision cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in his left eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, he needs help to fund this $211 procedure.
He says, “I hope my vision is restored so I can return to work and support my family. I also look forward to going outside on my own again.”
