Pheap is a 39-year-old hairdresser who has one son and two daughters. He likes to watch comedy programs and Chinese movies on TV.
Four years ago, Pheap developed a pterygium in each eye, causing him blurred vision and itchiness. It became difficult for him to see things clearly, work, and go anywhere outside on his own.
Pheap traveled for three hours with his niece to reach our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), for treatment. On December 19, eye surgeons at CSC removed the pterygium from each eye to allow Pheap to see clearly again. Now, CSC is requesting $148 to fund this procedure.
“I hope that I look better and no longer experience burning,” says Pheap, “so that I can work easily and go places on my own.”
