Noch is a bean and rice farmer from Cambodia. He likes to read about Buddha. He has two daughters, four sons, and seven grandchildren.
Three years ago, Noch developed a cataract in his right eye, causing him blurry vision, itchiness, tearing, photophobia, and a clouded lens. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Noch learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, he traveled for four hours seeking treatment. On September 6, doctors will perform a small incision cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in his right eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, he needs help to fund this $211 procedure.
He says, “I hope my eye surgery is successful so I can see everything clear again. I want to do my work, walk to the pagoda, and go outside by myself.”
