Channath is a 41-year-old farmer. He has two daughters who are both students in the local school. At home, he likes to listen to the news on the radio and watch boxing on TV.
Two years ago, Channath developed a cataract in his left eye, causing him blurry vision, pain, tearing, and photophobia. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside. Now he doesn’t go to the rice field as much as he needs to because of his poor vision.
When Channath learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, he traveled for two and a half hours seeking treatment. On November 29th, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in his left eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, he needs help to fund this $229 procedure.
“I hope after surgery I can see clearly again,” Channath says. “I can go back to working in the rice field to feed my family.”

Channath underwent eye surgery to restore his sight.
Channath was worried he could not support his family because he had difficulty seeing outside on his farm. His surgery was successful and his vision will continue to improve over the next few weeks as he heals. He’s eager to go back to his farm and be able to support his family so that his children can continue to attend school.
Channath’s wife said: “we’re happy his eye sees well again. Channath felt bad because he could not see to work on the farm. He is very happy and relieved he can make money to support our family. Thank you to the staff and to everyone who helped him to have good eyes again.”
