Pisey is a 44-year-old rice farmer from Cambodia. He and his wife, who is also a rice farmer, have one son and two daughters. During his free time, he enjoys listening to the news on the radio.
One year ago, Pisey developed a cataract in his right eye, causing him to experience eye tearing, itchiness, light sensitivity, and blurry vision. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces, and is worried about falling when walking, so he is not able to go places on his own.
When Pisey learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, he traveled for four and a half hours seeking treatment. On August 2nd, doctors will perform cataract surgery and place an intraocular lens implant in his right eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, he needs help funding this $253 procedure.
Pisey says, “I hope after surgery my eye can see better so I can return to the field and plant rice.”

Pisey underwent cataract surgery so he can see clearly again and return to work.
For many months, Pisey felt as if there was some sort of film covering his eye. He was happy a villager told him about CSC. After surgery, he returned to his province and his sight had already improved. He rested for a few days, applying eye drops to aid in healing and decrease the risk of infection. The cataract surgery will improve his life because he will feel more useful to his family and see well enough to manage his crops.
Pisey said: “I am relieved I can see again to work on my farm. I want to thank each person who paid for my surgery so I can earn money to support my children’s studies and feed my family.”
