MEDICAL FORUM THEATRE DAY HOSPITAL
Hospital in Port Elizabeth

The Eye and Laser Institute, situated in the coastal city of Port Elizabeth and part of the greater Nelson Mandela Metro, is a comprehensive eye care clinic. The resident ophthalmologists are members of the Medical Association of South Africa and the Ophthalmological Society of South Africa and adhere to the strictest code of conduct and professionalism, while treating patients using the latest techniques and modern technology. From the point of reception our patients are welcomed and guided through the relevant tests and procedures and in most cases a lasting relationship is fostered with the doctor and the Institute. The team of medical professionals at the Eye and Laser Institute set out to create a Centre of Excellence for Ophthalmology care in the Eastern Cape through the Eye and Laser Institute, with a strong focus on day surgery. Uncompromising service and high quality nursing care ensures that patients are discharged within three to four hours, depending on the procedure. In addition to the ease of not having to stay for a long period of time, patients also find the experience of entering the Medical Forum Theatre less daunting than a large hospital. As an Institute of excellence we have 6 resident ophthalmologists with a wealth of knowledge in the latest techniques and procedures and years of experience as medical professionals. Our patients glean the benefit of a state of the art facility and equipment and co-operative diagnosis in special cases that require intense investigation and research. Though most of our doctors each have their specific field of interest, all procedures and types of surgery are able to be performed by our surgeons.
