Sambath is a 46-year-old fisherman. He is married and has one daughter and two sons. Sambath’s wife also fishes. In his free time, Sambath enjoys listening to the news on the radio.
Two years ago, Sambath developed a cataract in his right eye, causing him blurry vision and photophobia. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going outside.
When Sambath learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), he traveled for two and a half hours seeking treatment. On January 4th, doctors will perform cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in his right eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. CSC is requesting $229 to fund this procedure.
Sambath shared, “I hope after surgery my vision will improve so I can return to fishing and working without problems.”

Sambath underwent sight-restoring cataract surgery.
Sambath was grateful his sister-in-law recommended he visit Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC) to undergo cataract surgery. After losing much of the vision in his right eye, Sambath shared that it had become difficult for him to
catch and sell fish, and his wife was left with the majority of work. His surgery went well, and he will rest for a few days and apply eye drops to continue his healing. Sambath’s eyesight has already improved, and he looks forward to returning to work so that he can help support his family!
Sambath’s wife said, “I feel grateful to everyone who supported my husband’s surgery so he can have a better life. Thank you to the people who funded the surgery, and I hope that they continue to help people who need help.”
