Hat is a 68-year-old rice farmer from Cambodia. In her free time, she enjoys watching both Khmer and Thai dramas on television.
One year ago, Hat developed a cataract in each eye, causing her blurry vision, irritation, burning, teary eyes, and photophobia. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Hat learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for three and a half hours seeking treatment. On February 18, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification surgery and an intraocular lens implant in each eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $398 procedure.
She says, “I hope my eye surgery is successful so that I am able to see everything, recognize people’s faces, and help my family around the house.”

Hat underwent cataract surgery.
Hat has returned home after a successful operation. As per her doctor’s instructions, she had one eye done, and will need to return in a few weeks to have surgery on the other eye. Surgery will allow her to work and go about her daily life with improved vision. Her doctor looks forward to seeing her again in a couple weeks.
She says, “I am very happy that my surgery is complete. Now, I can see more clearly, I am able to return to my work on the rice farm, and I can go anywhere outside independently.”
