Mas is a 61-year-old farmer who lives with her sister. She spends most of her time planting vegetables to sell at the market. She enjoys visiting the pagoda in her free time.
Two years ago, Mas developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her tearing and blurry vision. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces. She is also worried about falling when walking, so she is not able to go places on her own.
When Mas learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for three and a half hours seeking treatment. On February 8th, doctors will perform a small incision cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in her right eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $229 procedure.
Mas shared, “I hope I will be able to see better. I would like to go outside and do my housework well again.”

Mas underwent cataract surgery to improve her vision.
Mas was not sure she wanted to travel so far for surgery, but took her neighbor’s advice and had her cataract removed with our medical partner Children’s Surgical Centre. She rested overnight and was able to return home to her province the following day. When her eye has fully healed, she will be able to see faces and go outside without anymore fear that she will fall. She feels this will improve her life because she can grow vegetables and sell them at the market to supplement their household income.
Mas said: “Thank you for helping. I am relieved I had this surgery to improve my eyesight. I feel better now that I can see and can be more independent.”
