Ky is a 65-year-old mother of five from Cambodia. She has five sons and enjoys looking after her eleven grandchildren when she has free time.
One year ago, Ky developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her blurry vision, tearing, and photophobia. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Ky learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for two hours seeking treatment. On February 3rd, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification 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.
“I hope that I will be able to help look after my grandchildren again,” Ky shared.

Ky underwent cataract surgery.
Ky’s surgery was quick and successful, and she has now regained sight in her right eye. Ky spent one night in the hospital ward and has now returned to her homeland in her province. She is required to rest and apply antibiotic eye drops multiple times per day to prevent infection. Ky’s daughter-in-law feels very happy that Ky can see everything and everyone clearly again, unlike before. She is glad that Ky can return to her normal activities and she can go anywhere she want’s to outside without having to worry about her.
“I am feeling so much better than before now that my eyes can see everything clearly. I can help myself again, help my family around the house, and can return to work at the rice field,” Ky said.
