Chorn is a 58-year-old farmer. He is married and has four sons, five daughters, and many grandchildren. Chorn lives with his wife who also works as a farmer. Nowadays, he stays at home because of his poor vision.
Five months ago, Chorn developed a cataract in his right eye, causing him blurry vision and sensitivity to light. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Chorn learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, he traveled for seven hours seeking treatment. On October 18th, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in his right eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, he needs help to fund this $229 procedure.
Chorn shared, “I hope my eye can see well again. I want to go back to planting rice as well as some vegetables around my house to earn extra income for our family.”

Chorn underwent cataract surgery to improve his vision.
Chorn and his wife traveled for seven hours on rough country roads to have his eye surgery. With improved vision, Chorn can go back to farming and better support his family. He will also be able to recognize all his family members and see their faces clearly again.
Chorn’s wife said: “We’re relieved that my husband can go outside and help with the crops. He feels much better that he can contribute again to the family, and can be more independent. Thank you to those who donated so my husband can support our family during this hard time in our country.”
