Vannak is a rice farmer with four daughters. She lives with her eldest daughter, who is a grocery seller.
Three years ago, Vannak developed a cataract in her left eye, causing her itchiness, tearing, and blurry vision. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Vannak learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for three hours with her daughter seeking treatment. On January 6th, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification cataract surgery and place an intraocular lens implant in her left eye. After recovery, she will be able to see more clearly and walk around outside confidently. Now, she needs help to fund this $229 procedure.
Vannak shared, “I want to see well again so I can help my daughter take care of her children and be able to visit the pagoda.”

Vannak underwent cataract surgery.
Vannak had a successful cataract surgery and smooth post-operative recovery period. She was able to return home, where she diligently used the eye drops that were given to her in her affected eye for a week to aid in her healing and prevent an infection from developing. She is very pleased that she can now see clearly, and she wants to thank the donors who contributed to her surgery so that she can see well again and resume her life.
Vannak shared, “I’m so glad that I can see better and can go outside to do things now. I can help with my grandchildren again, and go back to visiting the pagoda on holy days.”
