At Cure Day Hospitals Midstream, a significant clinical milestone was achieved when Dr. R. Dayaram, Ophthalmologist at Midstream Eye, performed the facility’s first pars plana vitrectomy (PPV).
A PPV is a specialised ophthalmic procedure in which the vitreous gel is removed from the eye to enable the treatment of retinal conditions, bleeding, or scar tissue that may compromise vision. The procedure requires advanced surgical expertise, precision, and extensive experience.
For the patient, Mrs. S. Muller, the surgery was far more than a medical intervention — it was life changing. Improved vision means renewed independence, restored confidence, and the ability to engage fully with everyday life again.
Equally inspiring was the role played by the hospital team. From theatre staff and nursing professionals to administrative and support teams, every interaction reflected compassion, professionalism, and a shared commitment to patient-centred care. Their seamless coordination, reassurance, and attention to detail ensured that Mrs. S. Muller felt safe, supported, and valued throughout her journey.
This milestone highlights what is possible when specialised medical expertise meets a caring healthcare environment. It is a testament to Dr. R. Dayaram’s expertise, the dedication of the hospital staff, and a collective passion for making a meaningful difference in people’s lives.
