Tina is an eight-year-old from Cambodia. He has one younger brother. He likes to watch cartoons and play with his neighbors. He likes to read and study the Khmer language. He wants to be a doctor when he grows up.
Three months ago, Tina developed a cataract in his right eye, causing him blurred vision and photophobia. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Tina’s family learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, they traveled for three hours seeking treatment. On February 6, doctors will perform lensectomy and an intraocular lens implant in his right eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, his family needs help to fund this $211 procedure.
His mother says, “I am worried that my son’s vision is not good and he cannot see well.”
