Sina is a 44-year-old rice farmer from Cambodia. She is married and has two daughters, both high school students. When she and her husband have a break from the rice fields, they like to watch movies and the local news on TV.
Around five months ago, Sina developed a chalazion in her right eye, causing her pain and swelling. A chalazion is an inflamed cyst in a patient’s tear gland. It is difficult for her to work and be outside.
Sina traveled for six and a half hours to seek treatment from our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre. On March 6th, surgeons will remove the cyst through a chalazion excision procedure. After recovery, Sina’s symptoms should improve. She needs help raising $210 to fund this procedure.
Sina said, “I hope after surgery my eye lid stop swollen and back to normal eye I can go to plant crop well and don’t worry about it anymore.”

Sina underwent eye surgery to remove a cyst in her tear gland.
Sina and her husband traveled many hours from Kratie province to the capital city for treatment of her eye. After the surgery, she rested at home for several days, took antibiotics, and used eyedrops to help in healing and reduce the chance of infection. The incision site will heal on its own, and the redness and swelling have started to disappear. This treatment will help her see better, enabling her to work outside in the rice fields. She is glad her eye looks better and is healthy again.
Sina’s husband shared: “I am glad my wife’s eye will look normal and the swelling and itching will stop. She will have no pain and can go outside to plant crops with me. We are grateful to the CSC staff for taking good care of her.”
