Navoeun is a 57 year old woman married with 1 son, 3 daughters, and 5 grandchildren. She enjoys watching Khmer dramas and news on TV and visiting the pagoda to join in on ceremonies. Navoeun traveled 3 hours with her daughter to reach CSC for treatment.
Over a year ago, Navoeun developed a cataract in each eye. This caused blurred vision, photophobia, and cloudy lenses.
Navoeun will undergo phaco cataract surgery, which is a procedure in which an ultrasonic device is used to break up and then remove cataracts, from the eye to improve vision. The insertion of an intraocular lens (IOL) in both eyes immediately follows.
After the surgery, Navoeun will be able to see clearly again.

Navoeun successfully received vision-restoring eye surgery.
Navoeun eye cataract was successfully removed from her left eye and clear vision has been restored. Following the operation, she was given eye drops to reduce inflammation and fight infection. Navoeun went home after the first surgery and has yet to return to have the same operation completed in the other eye. Because returning to the clinic requires taking a day off from work and usually a family escort, she may have had trouble finding a day to come back. Also, because she left with clear vision in one eye, her problems with blurred vision are less of a burden making the second surgery a less immediate priority than the first. The second surgery will be free whenever Navoeun returns.
“I feel very happy that I can see everything clearly again so I can easily continue my work as a farmer,” Navoeun says. “I can go anywhere outside by myself without needing to disturb another person to take care of me.”
