Sreng is an 80-year-old man from Cambodia. Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), says, “Sreng is married with six children and eleven grandchildren, and he spends most of his day talking with his neighbors.”
CSC reports, “Sreng has had cataracts for four years and he can’t do work by himself or go places like the pagoda without someone coming with him.”
Cataracts are common with old age, as the lens inside of the eye becomes cloudy. Left untreated, cataracts can result in impaired vision and even blindness.
$225 will cover the costs for cataract removal surgery in both of Sreng’s eyes. The procedure will replace the cloudy lenses inside of Sreng’s eyes with clear implants.
CSC adds, “After surgery Sreng wants to help his family around the house more, go to the pagoda on his own, and be able to go anywhere without any problems.”
