The Khmer Sight Foundation (KSF) is a new charity founded by the late Dr Kim Frumar, an Australian ophthalmologist, and Sean Ngu, the Cambodian Secretary of State.
It aims to deliver and build sustainable eye care for the people of Cambodia by undertaking charitable ophthalmic missions as well as training local eye care professionals. International teams from the UK, France, Germany, Singapore and India will visit Cambodia over the next four and a half months to undertake weeklong missions. These teams consist of volunteer consultant ophthalmic surgeons, fellows, junior doctors and optometrists.
The missions are held in a modern hospital in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia. Cambodia has a population of 15 million people of whom 180,000 are blind. Ninety per cent of these cases are due to either preventable or reversible causes.
