Norng is a 76-year-old farmer. He’s married and has three sons, five daughters and fifteen grandchildren. He lives with his wife and now has to receive support from his children. When he is at home, he likes to listen to the monks pray on the radio and to visit the local pagoda.
Five years ago, Norng developed a cataract in his right eye, causing him tearing and blurry vision, along with an unsteady gait. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Norng learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, he traveled for three and a half hours seeking treatment. On December 6th, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification 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 $229 procedure.
Norng shared, “I hope after surgery I can see clearly. I can go out by myself and recognize something well and can visit the pagoda to join for the ceremonies.”
