Srean is a 48-year-old housewife living with her family in Cambodia. She has a husband, three sons, three daughters, and three grandchildren. She enjoys working outdoors, talking to her neighbors, and doing household chores to take care of her family.
Four months ago, Srean developed a cataract in each of her eyes, causing her to become partially blind. Her eyes have been tearing and her vision is blurry. She has been unable to do her work well, see clearly, and safely go outside. Her daughter worries that Srean will injure herself if she works, and that her vision might deteriorate further.
Srean’s daughter brought her to our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, where doctors told her she was in need of a routine small incision cataract surgery (SICS) and an intraocular lens implant in each eye, which will restore her vision to full clarity. In total, the procedure, supplies, drugs, and three days of inpatient care will cost $225. With your help we can get Srean the treatment that she needs to get back on her feet.
