Chanthou is a 54-year-old restaurant cleaner from Cambodia. She is married and has one son, three daughters, and three grandchildren. She likes to watch comedy, music shows, and the news on TV.
One year ago, Chanthou developed a cataract in each of her eyes, which has led to blurred vision. Due to her blurred vision, Chanthou has trouble seeing things clearly and finds it difficult to work.
Chanthou found out about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC) from her neighbor. She traveled for one hour with her brother to reach CSC for treatment of her cataracts.
On February 7, Chanthou will undergo vision-restoring cataract surgery. Surgeons will perform a phacoemulsification procedure and place an intraocular lens implant in each eye.
After recovery, she will be able to see clearly again. CSC is requesting $292 to fund the procedure.
