Vuth Ny is a mother of four with eight grandchildren from Cambodia. She likes listening to the Buddhist radio station and reading spiritual books in her spare time.
Three years ago, Vuth Ny developed a cataract in each eye, causing her blurry vision and extreme sensitivity to light. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Vuth Ny learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for one hour with her daughter seeking treatment. On August 22, doctors will perform a phaco procedure and an intraocular lens implant in each eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $398 procedure.
She says, “I want to see clearly so I can do house work like cooking, cleaning, and washing clothes, and I want to help take care of my grandchildren. I also want to be able to read better and leave the house on my own to go to the pagoda.”
