Mun is a 64-year-old retired rice farmer who is married and has two daughters, three sons, and 10 grandchildren. Mun lives with her husband and likes to go to the pagoda to participate in ceremonies.
Three years ago, Mun developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her tearing and blurry vision. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces, and is worried about falling when walking, so is not able to go places on her own.
When Mun learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for three and a half hours seeking treatment. On May 3rd, doctors will perform a small incision cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in her right eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $253 procedure.
Mun says, “I hope after surgery my eye can see clearly. I would like to go out and recognize things well.”

Mun underwent cataract surgery so she can be more independent.
Mun had successful surgery at Children’s Surgical Centre and was able to return home the next day. Doctors prescribed antibiotic drops to aid in healing, which she will apply eight times a day. When her eye is fully healed, Mun can be more independent, and return to the daily activities she loves - cooking for her family, visiting the local pagoda, and caring for her grandchildren.
Mun said: “I am so happy I listened to the advice of my relatives to have my eye fixed. I want to be more productive in my life, I don’t want to stay in my house and not be able to do anything. This operation will change my life, I can be more useful. Thank you to CSC and the donors for helping me see better.”
