Patients first see Danie at the Groote Schuur or Tygerberg Hospital. There, they will receive a Metro District Health Services Eye Prosthesis Application Screening Form. It must be completed at their nearest Community Health Centre. Once they have all the information and signatures, they will make an appointment with us. Normally, the whole procedure takes a full day at our practice.
** Other restrictions:
Only for South African citizens and people living in the Cape Metropol area.

She was 2 years old when I saw that her retina has coloured white. I took her to the Tygerberg Hospital. The doctors there diagnosed that she had cancer in her eye, Retinoblastoma. They said that the eye has been damaged beyond repair and should be removed. Onela had the eye removed soon there after.

It all happened from March this year.
I was cleaning the yard and trying to fix a fence. A wire sprang loose and cut me right across my eye and damaged it.

Ashleigh Daniels
"Ashleigh Daniels was born two months prematurely on the 2nd November 1998. She was a lovely and lively baby; however at 9 months the Clinic sister detected that her right eye was defective and referred us to Red Cross Hospital. At the hospital we were told that Ashleigh was blind in her right eye and there was nothing the doctors could do for her.
