“Soeng hopes that surgery will be a success so she can see more clearly and look more normal,” share our partners at Children’s Surgical Centre in Cambodia. Soeng is now 29-years-old and was born with congenital blepharoptosis, or drooping eyelids.
Because Soeng has a hard time opening her eyes, her vision is blurred and she has great difficulty performing her work at a local garment factory. Soeng likes to listen to health education programs on the radio in her spare time and is eager to receive the treatment she needs.
For $290, Soeng will receive surgery to repair her droopy lids. This operation will improve Soeng’s vision so that she truly has a fresh view on life! Soeng said she will also feel less shy around other people.
