An is a rice farmer from Cambodia. She has two sons and four grandchildren. She likes to read and listen to radio programs.
A year ago, An developed a cataract in each eye, causing her clouded lenses and blurry vision. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When An learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for four hours seeking treatment. On January 3, doctors will perform a small incision cataract 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 vision improves so I can return to work.”

An underwent cataract surgery.
An 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 and less pain. Her doctor looks forward to seeing her again in a couple weeks.
She says, “I feel very happy that my eye surgery was successful and that I can see everything more clearly than before. Now, I can continue my work at the farm and go anywhere outside by myself more easily than before.”
