Sovireak Both is a studious first grader. He loves fried noodles and playing tag with his friends. He is a middle child and enjoys going to school, especially learning how to write Cambodian script.
Sovireak Both has strabismus in both eyes. Strabismus is a misalignment of the eye caused by injury or dysfunction in the associated nerves and muscles. He gets headaches, blurry vision, and if not treated, he could have long-term vision problems such as issues with depth perception and double vision.
Sovireak Both’s family traveled to our medical partner’s care center to receive treatment. On March 1st, surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), will perform a corrective procedure to align his eyes. Now, his family needs help to raise $331 to fund this procedure.
His mother said, “I hope my son can be happy with his eyes and do well in school.”

Sovireak Both underwent a corrective procedure for his eyes to help him avoid vision complications.
Savireak and his family traveled to the Children Surgical Center for a surgical procedure to strengthen the muscles that control the movement of his affected eyes. The post surgery swelling and redness around his eye was alleviated by the prescribed eye drops and pain medications. He will need to sport an eye patch for several days but can resume normal activities within a week. This surgery will have a life-changing effect on Savireak, as it will enhance his eyes’ ability to work and make him look even more handsome as he grows (his proud mother shared).
Savireak Both’s mother told us: “The doctor told me about the surgery and how to take care of my son’s eye when we go home. I feel grateful to see my son’s eyes look normal like other boys so he can go back to school and I don’t worry about his eyesight anymore.”
