Seang is a 58-year-old woman. She and her husband work as rice farmers and have two daughters, four sons, and ten grandchildren. In her free time, Seang enjoys listening to the monks pray on the radio. Three years ago, Seang developed a cataract in her left eye, causing her blurry vision, photophobia, and tearing. As a result, she has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces, and is worried about falling when walking, so she cannot go places on her own.
