Chamroen is a 50-year-old corn and potato farmer from Cambodia who is married with two sons, three daughters, and two grandsons. He likes to listen to the news on the radio and watch boxing on TV in his free time.
Chamroen developed a traumatic cataract in each eye after being hit by bamboo about three days ago. He has blurred vision, burning, pain, tearing, cloudy lenses, and photophobia (extreme sensitivity to light). It is difficult for him to see things clearly, do any type of work, and go places on his own.
On April 20, eye surgeons at our medical partner Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), will remove the cataract from each eye to allow Chamroen to see clearly again.
CSC is requesting $292 for Chamroen’s cataract removal.

Chamroen underwent cataract removal.
Chamroen’s eye cataract was successfully removed from his right eye, and clear vision has been restored. Following the operation, he was given eye drops to reduce inflammation and prevent infection. He will return soon for the same surgery on his left eye.
Chamroen says, “I feel very happy that I can see everything clearly again so that I can continue my work as a farmer and plant crops. I can easily go anywhere outside like before.”
