Soeun is a 45-year-old construction worker from Cambodia. She has one son, two daughters, and enjoys listening to the news on the radio in her free time.
Two months ago, Soeun developed a pterygium in her right eye, causing her blurry vision and photophobia. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, working, and going anywhere outside.
When Soeun learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for an hour and a half seeking treatment. Soeun needs a surgical procedure to remove the abnormal conjunctiva from the cornea surface and replace it with a conjunctival graft to prevent recurrence. The total cost of her procedure is $201. This covers medications, supplies, and inpatient care for two days.
“I hope that my wife will be able to see clearly so she can return to her work again without any difficulty.”

Soeun underwent pterygium eye surgery.
Soeun has returned home after a successful operation. She was given eye drops and an ointment to reduce pain and prevent infection. Post-operative swelling has started to go down, and her vision has improved. Thanks to surgery, she will be able to work and go about daily life with improved vision and without discomfort and irritation.
Soeun said, “I am so happy that my surgery was successful and that I am feeling much better and more comfortable than before. I am able to return to my work and go anywhere I want to outside again.”
