Phorn is a 78-year-old woman from Cambodia, married with 20 children and 30 grandchildren. She enjoys visiting the pagoda to listen to the monks pray. Phorn traveled 3 hours with her daughter to reach Watsi’s medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC) for treatment.
Phorn developed a cataract in each eye one year ago. This causes her blurred vision and burning.

Phorn, a 78-year-old grandmother from Cambodia, developed cataracts in both her eyes which for a long time now have blurred her vision and made it difficult for her to get around with ease.
After traveling to the hospital from her village, Phorn has now received successful cataract surgery! The doctors have removed her clouded lenses and is now on her way to a full recovery. Phorn is back at home now and healing, and with some time, is expected to see a full restoration of her vision.
“I feel very happy that I can see everything clear again,” shaers Phorn. “I can easily do work at home like clean, look after my grandchildren, and go anywhere outside by myself without needing to disturb another person to take care of me.”
