Leang is a happy three year old kindergartener, living with her parents in Phnom Penh in Cambodia. Her father works at a local company, and her mother is a journalist.
Two weeks ago, Leang developed a chalazion in her right eye. A chalazion is an inflamed cyst in a patient’s tear gland. In addition to the pain that the chalazion causes, Leang also suffers from impaired vision, due to swelling in her eye. This makes it difficult for her to concentrate and enjoy preschool.
Leang’s parents brought her to our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, to seek treatment. On January 16th, doctors at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre will remove the cyst from Leang’s eye, through a chalazion excision procedure. After recovery, Leang’s symptoms should improve. Leang’s family needs your help to raise the $210 to fund this procedure.
Leang’s mother shared: “I hope the operation will be easy for my daughter so she can go to school with no pain or swelling.”

Leang underwent eye surgery.
Leang had her eye surgery and has been resting at home. Although it may take several weeks before her eye heals completely, Leang will no longer have a swollen lid or be shy among her friends. Her family hopes this will help her to be more confident and social with family and friends.
Leang’s mother said: “I want to thank the doctor who helped my daughter. I felt happy when I brought my daughter to CSC for treatment because the staff and doctor were so friendly. The doctor explained her eyelid disease and told me she needed drainage on her eyelid due to an infection inside. After surgery, her eyelid stopped swelling, and there’s no more pain. We are grateful to everyone.”
