Roeun is a 65-year-old rice farmer who is married with two sons, one daughter, and five grandchildren. She likes to listen to monks pray on the radio. Roeun heard about CSC from a person in her village who had surgery here before. She spent two hours traveling with her granddaughter to reach CSC for treatment.
Roeun developed a cataract in each eye about two years ago causing her blurred vision, tearing, and headaches. It is difficult for her to see things clearly, do any work, and go anywhere outside.
After this surgery on October 21, Roeun will be able to see clearly again. Roeun asks for your help in funding her cataract surgery for $292.
Roeun says, “I hope that I can see everything more clearly than now so that I can easily go to the pagoda or go anywhere else outside without needing to disturb another person to take hold of my hand.” Roeun’s granddaughter says, “I hope that my grandmother can see everything more clearly than now so that I don’t have to worry about her vision loss anymore.”

Roeun successfully received vision-restoring cataract surgery.
Roeun eye cataract was successfully removed from her right eye and clear vision has been restored. Following the operation, she was given eye drops to reduce inflammation and fight infection. Roeun went home after the first surgery and has yet to return to have the same operation completed in the other eye. Because returning to the clinic requires taking a day off from work and usually a family escort, she may have had trouble finding a day to come back. Also, because she left with clear vision in one eye, her problems with blurred vision are less of a burden making the second surgery a less immediate priority than the first. The second surgery will be free whenever Roeun returns.
“I am very happy that my grandmother can see everything clearly again,” shares Roeun’s granddaughter. “She can go anywhere outside. I am thankful.”
