Uon is a 73-year-old mother of six. She has one daughter, five sons, and many grandchildren. Uon used to be a farmer but now she stays at home and is unable to work due to her age and vision. Uon enjoys listening to the monks pray on the radio.
Five years ago, Uon developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her blurry vision and photophobia. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Uon learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), she traveled for three hours seeking treatment. On August 9th, 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. CSC is requesting $229 to fund this procedure.
Uon shares, “I hope I can see better after my surgery so I can plant some crops around my house to support my family.”

Uon underwent cataract surgery.
Uon had successful cataract surgery to improve her vision. She was initially hesitant to travel so far during the pandemic but is thrilled with the results and can now see clearly. She will continue healing and rest for a few days. She looks forward to going outside again without trouble and to caring for her grandchildren and being a support for her family.
Uon’s daughter said: “I feel better that my mother can see better. She can be more independent, help me care for the young children, and help around the farm to feed our family. Thank you to the donors who helped my mother.”
