Cambodian Eye Mission October -November 2018

During this mission over 50 Doctors and Nurses were trained in the latest findings on eye disease, including cataracts.

Quite a few children have cataracts either from birth -congenital , or develop from infections or trauma.

Please see enclosed photo of a young Cambodian Khmer girl recovering from cataract surgery on her left eye

Also please see the waiting room photo of the children's eye clinic, where patients and their mothesr waited for hours to be seen and checked,

Thank all of you at GlobalGiving that helped make this Eye Mission possible
