Sokorn is a 65-year-old rice farmer from Cambodia. She has one daughter, and enjoys looking after her grandchild and visiting the pagoda in her spare time.
One year ago, Sokorn developed a cataract in each eye, causing her blurry vision, photophobia, and tearing. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Sokorn learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for three hours seeking treatment. On January 6th, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification 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 $425 procedure.
“I hope that I will be able to see clearly again so I can help take care of my grandchild,” Sokorn shared.

Sokorn underwent cataract surgery.
Sokorn has returned home after a successful operation. As per her doctor’s instructions, she had one eye completed, and will need to return in a few weeks to have cataract surgery on the other eye. Surgery will allow her to work and go about her daily life with improved vision. Her doctor looks forward to seeing her again in a couple weeks.
Sokorn said, “I am so glad my surgery went well and I am able to see clearly again. I can help my family with work around the house, like cooking food and taking care of my grandchildren. I can go anywhere I want to on my own again.”
