Cure Day Hospitals celebrate the ophthalmology discipline in September.
This offers a lovely opportunity to draw special attention to the ophthalmologists working at Cure Day Hospitals Erasmuskloof.
Ophthalmology in a day hospital setting allows patients to undergo safe, specialized eye surgery and return home the same day without an overnight stay.
Common Day Hospital Eye Procedures
- Cataract surgery: Removes a clouded internal lens and replaces it with an artificial clear lens.
- Pterygium surgery: Clears noncancerous growths from the white part of the eye using specialized techniques.
- Eyelid and lacrimal surgeries: Includes blepharoplasty, entropion repair, or procedures to eliminate mucus retention.
- Corneal transplants: Replaces damaged or diseased corneal tissue with healthy donor tissue
At Cure Day Hospitals Erasmuskloof we offer specialized care: Access to dedicated ophthalmic theater equipment, microscopes, and a trained nursing team.
We would like to give prominence to Drs Riël de la Bat, Helen de Jager, Hettie Kruger and Estelle Jansen.
