Sokea is a 45-year-old fisherman and rice farmer from Cambodia. She has one son, two daughters, and one grandchild. Her favorite activities include watching Khmer and Thai dramas on television.
One month ago, Sokea developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her blurry vision. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Sokea learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for three and a half hours seeking treatment. On March 10th, doctors will perform a small incision 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 see more clearly and can go outside again and plant rice,” she shared.

Sokea underwent cataract surgery.
Sokea’s surgery was a great success and her sight has been restored. She will now rest at home and apply eye drops several times per day to prevent infection. She is so happy she can see clearly, and she is looking forward to returning to her work on the rice field and being able to go places independently.
“I am so happy that my mother can see everything much more clearly than before, and I don’t feel like I need to worry about her eye problem anymore.” -Sokea’s Daughter
