Savarn is a shy woman from just outside Cambodia’s capital city. She likes listening to the radio and watching TV in her spare time.
One year ago, Savarn developed a cataract in her left eye, causing her itchiness, blurry vision, and sensitivity to light. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Savarn learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for one hour seeking treatment. On September 25, doctors will perform small incision cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in her left eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $211 procedure.
She says, “I hope that after surgery I can see clearly to help my work around the house.”
