Sameav is an 81-year-old grandmother from Cambodia, who is married with 3 sons, 1 daughter, and 12 grandchildren. She enjoys talking with her neighbors, taking care of her grandchildren, and visiting the pagoda to listen to the monks pray. She traveled 6 hours with her son to reach our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), for treatment.
Sameav developed a cataract in each eye 3 years ago. This causes her blurred vision, tearing, and irritation. Surgeons at CSC removed the cataract in her right eye on April 26th, 2016. She has returned to have the same surgery for her left eye.
After an extracapsular cataract extraction and intraocular implant in her left eye, her vision will improve. $150 will cover the cost of the surgery, and allow Sameav to see clearly again. Let’s help make it possible!
