Thol is a 49-year-old farmer from Cambodia. Thol is married with four sons and two grandchildren. He and his wife farm rice to earn a living for their family. He shared that he enjoys listening to news on the radio.
Five years ago, Thol developed a cataract in his right eye, causing him blurry vision, tearing, irritation, pain, and photophobia. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Thol learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, he traveled for two and a half hours with his wife seeking treatment. On September 10th, doctors will perform phacoemulsification 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 $229 procedure.
Thol said, “I hope after my surgery I can see everything again so I can to do my work at the farm again and drive my moto to go anywhere by myself.”
