Srey is a 66-year-old rice farmer. She shared that her husband passed away many years ago. Srey has three daughters, five sons, and many grandchildren and lives with her oldest daughter, who works as a farmer. When she is not taking care of her family, Srey likes to listen to the monks pray on the radio.
Five years ago, Srey developed a cataract in her left eye, causing photophobia and blurry vision. As a result, she has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going outside.
When Srey learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), she traveled there seeking treatment. On December 1st, surgeons will perform cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in her left eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. CSC is requesting $229 to fund Srey’s procedure.
Srey shared, “I hope after surgery my eye can see clearly. I can help my daughter to take care of grandchildren and go to the pagoda again.”

Srey underwent cataract surgery so she can see clearly.
Srey had expected that she would have limited vision for the rest of her life. After her surgery, she was amazed at how well her vision has improved. She will rest for a few days, and apply eye drops to aid in healing. Her vision will continue to improve over the next few weeks. She is thrilled that she will be able to go outside again and help her children with the farm.
Srey’s daughter said: “we are happy that my mother’s eyesight will improve. She can help around the house, and take care of the grandchildren. Thank you to the people who helped my mother have a good life; she already is much happier now.”
