Heang is a 63-year-old woman with two sons, three daughters, and six grandchildren. She likes to listen to monks pray on the radio.
Three years ago, Heang developed a pterygium in each eye, causing her blurred vision, tearing, irritation, and discomfort.
Heang traveled for four hours with her son to reach our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), for treatment. On December 26, eye surgeons at CSC removed the pterygium from each eye to allow Heang to see clearly again. Now, CSC is requesting $148 to fund this procedure.
“I hope my eyes feel more comfortable,” says Heang, “so that I can do any kind of work and go anywhere outside easily.”
