Cheng is a 75-year-old rice farmer from Cambodia. She likes to take care of her 12 grandchildren and enjoys going to the pagoda in her free time.
Two years ago, Cheng developed entropion of the eyelids. This means that she has burred vision and irritation in her eyes. She often has pain and difficulty seeing properly.
Cheng traveled to our medical partner’s care center to receive treatment. On April 3, surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), will perform a corrective procedure to repair her eyelids. Now, Cheng needs help to raise $212 to fund this procedure.
She says, “I hope that after surgery I will be able to go outside the house by myself and continue going to the pagoda.”

Cheng underwent eye surgery.
Cheng’s operation went smoothly and she has returned home. Her eye is a little bit swollen after surgery, but she’s been given drops to reduce inflammation and prevent infection. Following surgery, Cheng’s eyelid has been lifted, improving her vision and confidence.
She says, “I am so thrilled that my surgery went well and I am able to see much more clearly than before. Now, I am able to continue with my work at the rice field, help out around the house, and go anywhere I want to independently.”
