Yoeng is a market seller from Cambodia. She likes watching movies and spending time with her son and her friends.
Four months ago, Yoeng developed a cataract in each eye, causing her blurry vision and watery eyes. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Yoeng learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for one hour seeking treatment. On October 16, doctors will perform a small incision cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in each eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly.

She says, “I hope I can see again and go places by myself.”
