Yen is a 60-year-old farmer from Cambodia. He is married with five sons, two daughters, and twenty grandchildren. Yen likes to listen to the news on the radio and watch the news on TV. He heard about Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC) from a neighbor who had surgery here before. Yen traveled for three hours with his son to reach CSC for treatment.
Yen developed a cataract in each eye about three months ago causing him blurred vision and headaches. It is difficult for him to see things clearly, do any work, and go anywhere on his own.
For $292, Yen will undergo cataract surgery in both eyes. After surgery, Yen will be able to see clearly again.

Yen successfully received surgery to be able to see clearly again.
Yen’s eye cataract was successfully removed from his right eye and clear vision has been restored. Following the operation, Yen was given eye drops to reduce inflammation and fight infection. He went home after the first surgery and has yet to return to have the same operation completed in the other eye. Because returning to the clinic requires taking a day off from work and usually a family escort, he may have had trouble finding a day to come back. Also, because he left with clear vision in one eye, his problems with blurred vision are less of a burden making the second surgery a less immediate priority than the first. The second surgery will be free whenever Yen returns.
“I feel very happy that I can see everything clearly again,” shares Yen. “I can continue my work as a farmer. I can go anywhere by myself easily without needing to disturb others to take care of me.”
