Cambodia

Cambodia has an estimated population of 16 million people, 85% of whom live in rural areas. An estimated 200,000 people are blind, mainly due to avoidable causes like cataracts and glaucoma. Limited access to affordable treatments and a lack of knowledge about eye problems and suitable treatments are significant challenges.

Cambodia has a high number of landmine victims and disabilities. CSC is a tertiary teaching hospital that performs free and low-cost surgeries for economically disadvantaged patients. We support CSC by providing cataract surgery kits to make their ophthalmic care possible.
