Sout is a mother of six and sells fruit at the market. Sout has two daughters, four sons, and many grandchildren. She likes to listen to the news and the monks praying on the radio.
Four years ago, Sout developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her itchiness, tearing, and blurry vision. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Sout learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for two hours and half seeking treatment. On October 25th, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification 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.
Sout says, “I hope my eye can see well so I can go to sell fruits again. I also want to visit the pagoda by myself.”

Sout underwent sight-restoring eye surgery.
It was hard for Sout to admit she was going blind and to ask for help, but she was afraid she might not see her children and grandchildren grow up. Luckily, she was able to receive treatment and her surgery was successful! Following surgery, Sout could immediately see better and said it felt like a miracle after living with poor vision. Now, she can return to the market to sell fruit, keep track of money, and help her customers. This surgery will help not only Sout, but her family, to have a better life.
Sout said: “I am so thankful that I can see well now. I can go outside, sell fruit, and be more independent. Thank you to the CSC staff and everyone who restored my vision.”
