Man is a 68-year-old rice farmer who is married with one son, four daughters, and seven grandchildren. He likes to watch boxing on TV and also enjoys listening to monks pray on the radio.
About two years ago, Man developed cataracts in each eye, causing him blurred vision, pain, cloudy lenses, and extreme sensitivity to light. Because of his eye condition, he has difficulty seeing clearly, which impacts his independence and ability to work.
Man learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), from his neighbor. He traveled for two hours with his son to reach CSC for treatment. On January 23, Man will undergo a phacoemulsification cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant. After recovery, Man will be able to see clearly again and return to work. CSC is requesting $292 to fund this procedure.
“I hope to see more clearly so that I can continue my work on the farm and plant vegetables around my home,” says Man.
