World Vision
Dr. Michael Vrabek and the trainees take a first look at Sry Loy's cornea, during a post-op exam at Preah Ang Duong Hospital, December 12, 2007. Loy received a new cornea the day before. His cornea is still tinted green from the fluorescent stain used during the operation. Loy, 32, is a rice farmer who has been bilaterally blind for the past 10 years. He traveled 12 hours to Phnom Penh, in hopes that ORBIS could restore some of his sight. Loy was the recipient of a cornea donated by the Lions Eye Bank of Wisconsin, and had the first corneal transplant performed in the country. (All Photos: Kristyna Wentz-Graff)
The halls of Preah Ang Duong Hospital in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, were filled with people hoping that ORBIS would be able to help them or their family members with eye health problems, December 10, 2007. ORBIS International brought its world renown programs to Cambodia at the invitation of the Cambodia Ministry of Health. The ORBIS Flying Eye Hospital was stationed at the airport, and volunteers also worked with trainees at the local facility.

world vision, thank you for coming to cambodia to help with eye problems. in cambodia, it seems like a lot of people have the glaucoma eye problems, maybe due to poor or deficient mineral problem? i once read somewhere that stated not only in cambodia in southeast asia as a whole, many people have this glaucoma eye problem ( called in khmer p'nek leung bay or the the hardening of the iris in the eye). maybe an opharmologist or eye doctor could tell the prevalent causes in cambodia. also, goiter and spinal deformity are common there as well. thank you.
priceless to be able to see again. thanks a millions to those involved.
