Kem Ly is a 71-year-old retired bread baker. He has one son, one daughter, and three grandchildren. Kem Ly lives with his son who is a musician. He likes to listen to the news on the radio.
One year ago, Kem Ly developed a cataract in his right eye, causing him photophobia and blurry vision. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces, and is worried about falling when walking, so is not able to go places on his own.
When Kem Ly learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, he traveled there hoping for treatment. On March 15th, doctors will perform a small incision 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.
Kem Ly is hopeful that after surgery, he can do more on his own and travel around outside by himself.

Kem Ly underwent eye surgery so he can see again.
Kem Ly had successful surgery at Children’s Surgical Centre and was able to return home the next day. When his eye heals completely, he can return to the daily activities he loves - baking for his family and helping care for his grandchildren.
Kem Ly said: “I am so happy I listened to the advice of my relatives to have my eye fixed. I want to be more productive in my life, I don’t want to sit in the house and do nothing. This operation will change my life, and I can be more useful. Thank you to CSC and the donors for helping me see better.”
