No is a 67-year-old bicycle repairman. He’s married and has four sons, two daughters, and many grandchildren. No lives with his wife, who sells food in front of a garment factory. Nowadays, No does not work because of his poor vision. In his free time, he enjoys listening to the news on the radio.
Two years ago, No developed a cataract in his left eye, causing him photophobia and blurry vision. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When No learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), he traveled for an hour seeking treatment. On August 9th, doctors will perform a cataract surgery and lens implant in his left eye so that after recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, CSC is requesting $229 to fund this procedure.
No said, “I hope after surgery my eye can see clearly so I can return to my job repairing bicycles and go anywhere on my own.”

No underwent a sight-restoring cataract surgery.
No was initially hesitant about receiving the cataract surgery, but accepted it after talking with our Watsi representative and medical staff. Now No is thrilled with the results. After a few days of rest and eye drop applications to aid in healing, he will soon be able to return to his job of repairing bicycles and helping his wife at her food cart. With No’s return to work, the extra money earned during these uncertain times will help them feed their family.
No’s wife said, “We are so relieved that No’s eyesight has improved. He can go outside and see his children’s and grandchildren’s faces again. Now that he can work again, his job will help us buy food to support our family.”
