Duc After Surgery

Nine-year-old Duc has an adorable smile. He came to the Interplast team visiting Cao Lanh, Vietnam to have his eyelid repaired. Duc suffers from ptosis, a disease that causes drooping of the eyelid and can lead to loss of sight. He said that it was already getting difficult to see with that eye. When asked what he liked to do, he at first replied only schoolwork, only studying. But when pressed, we learned that he loves math and soccer and hopes to be a professional goalie someday. Now he won’t have trouble seeing those balls heading for the goal.
