I had Smile surgery today. It was so quick and painless. It is life-changing. I could see immediately. No more reaching for my glasses or contact lenses, which I might add I wore for over 20 years. Thank you Dr McClunan and team. You guys rock. Less

For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to correct my vision — but I never knew how. I always assumed that a procedure like this would be far too expensive and out of reach for someone like me. That all changed the day I reached out to Atlantic Eye Laser Centre.From the very beginning, I was fortunate to connect with Chane , and what an incredible person she is. I’ll never forget her words: “Even if you think your vision is beyond help, we will find a way to make you happy.” That reassurance gave me hope when I had none. Her kindness, encouragement, and honesty immediately made me feel seen and supported.What truly amazed me was learning about the payment plan option. For someone who didn’t have the funds readily available, this was a game-changer. Thanks to that plan, I was able to go ahead with the bilateral Smile procedure — something I never thought I’d be able to do — and today, I have vision I never thought possible. I am beyond grateful.From Chane’s warm welcome, to the absolutely amazing receptionist team Joshua— each interaction has exceeded my expectations. Whether it’s the way they answer the phone or reply to emails, every contact has been met with care, warmth, and professionalism.And then, of course, there’s Dr. Daemon McClunan. He is not only a brilliant surgeon, but also a truly exceptional human being. His expertise, calm nature, and dedication made the entire process smooth and reassuring. I felt completely safe in his hands from start to finish.This has been one of the most life-changing experiences I’ve ever had, and I cannot thank the Atlantic Eye Laser Centre team enough. If you’re on the fence, I wholeheartedly encourage you to reach out — it might just change your life like it did mine. Less

I hade SMILE refractive procedure at Atlantic Eye Laser Centre. The entire process was a pleasure. From assessment, all the way through to the procedure and post procedure checks. The procedure was painless and quick, and I felt at ease throughout. It has been a month, and I am ecstatic with the results. I couldn't recommend them more. Less

I did SMILE laser eye surgery at the practice in Foreshore and cannot recommend enough. Very short, painfree procedure and I am spec free after decades of wearing glasses. Should have visited here years ago! Big thanks to Dr. McClunan and Chane! Less

I traveled all the way from the Netherlands to have the operation done in Cape Town and I'm not regretting my decision. The team was very accommodating to have my tests and operation done in the same week. Everyone was efficient, friendly and professional. I have received great advice from them as well. Highly recommended. Less

I had the SMILE procedure done at Atlantic Eye Laser Centre, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial consultation to post-op care, the entire team was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and reassuring.The procedure itself was quick and painless — I was amazed by how smooth everything went. Within just a day, I was already seeing clearly, and by the end of the week, my vision felt almost perfect. There was no discomfort at all, and only a slight murkiness at first that cleared up fast.What really stood out was the level of care. The doctors took the time to explain every step, answered all my questions, and made me feel completely confident in the process. I appreciated how modern and clean the clinic was, and how personal the entire experience felt.Now, I wake up every morning seeing clearly without glasses or contacts — it’s truly life-changing. If you’re thinking about getting SMILE, I can’t recommend Atlantic Eye Laser Centre enough! Less

I had Bilateral PRK surgery with Dr McLanan. His practice is very professional and the staff friendly. Everything was explained in detail before and during my procedure. I had a good experience overall. Thank you Less

I had the SMILE laser eye surgery with Dr McClunan, and it was completely painless and incredibly quick. Everyone at the clinic was extremely professional and friendly, making the whole experience smooth and reassuring. The aftercare package is also a great touch—well thought out, super helpful, and even includes a fun little twist. The entire process was clearly explained, and in my case, I was able to get treated quickly. I’m absolutely satisfied and so happy that I no longer need glasses or contact lenses to see clearly!

Couldn't be happier. Can see amazing now thanks to the smile surgery and all the staff were so friendly, reassuring and kind. I was guided through every step and the process was so seamless. Post surgery, Charne sat with me ensuring everything was good and explained post surgery so clearly to me. Can highly recommend Dr McClunan, Atlantic Eye Laser Centre and this sugary. You won't regret it! Less

Life changing procedure!! I highly recommend Dr James Beatty, I would not trust my eyesight with any other Doctor. Special care is given for post operation and follow ups. I should have done this years ago. Facilities and service is also excellent. Less

Good morning Dr M. The experience was not what I expected- in a positive way. It is/was amazing! I received a WhatsApp +- 2 hours after the laser, and although blurry, I could read it WITHOUT my reading glasses!!! Except for a little puffyness this morning, I don’t have any uncomfort, scratching or itching and I CAN STILL READ FINE PRINT!!! Still can’t believe it! To just say thank you sounds so little. Not even all the money in the world will be enough to pay for what you gave me. May God bless you, and your steady hands to continue to help a lot more patients in future. Thank you to you and your amazing team. Less

If you are on the fence about LASIK or any other laser eye surgery services - don't be. 110% satisfaction with my procedure at Atlantic Eye Laser Centre. The team's expertise in vision correction and refractive surgery is unparalleled. From the initial consultation through to the post-operative care, every step was handled with precision and care. My vision has never been clearer, and the recovery was smoother than I anticipated. Highly recommend for anyone considering eye surgery, LASIK, PRK, or SMILE. The technology here is state-of-the-art, making it the best eye surgery center in Cape Town (Probably South Africa). Five stars all the way! Less

I got SMILE refractive laser surgery done here and had such a wonderful experience. Dr McClunan and his team are very professional, warm and friendly. I would definitely recommend! Less

I had SMILE performed on me by Dr McClunan. I am extremely happy with the results! My vision is better than it was with my specs. I had quite a bad astigmatism, but thankfully it was correctable with SMILE and it is now completely gone, as well as my Myopia.I am really pleased that I went ahead with the procedure, after many years of considering it. Just a note to readers: SMILE healing is a bit slower than LASIK and it's up and down quite a bit for the first 2 weeks. Thereafter it's really smooth sailing! Less

Very comfortable experience: Easy parking; friendly staff; after care goodie bag with meds/drops& chocolates included. The 6-month interest-free payment plan also big bonus. Day 7 now and very happy so far with outcome of procedure (Smile) Less

Very happy with the SMILE Lasik treatment. The doctors and general staff were very friendly and professional. The treatment itself was quick and painless. I can recommend to anyone considering Lasik. Less

I had an excellent experience with Dr McClunan having SMILE procedure done.The staff as well as Dr McClunan were so friendly, caring, professional and no question was ever too much to answer.The entire screening process to see if I was a good candidate and which procedure would be most suited to me was incredibly thorough. I never felt concerned about my decision in choosing to trust this team in the right care for such an important part of your body.You could really see the care with every patient passing through the practice.Highly recommend and thank you again to all the team that took care of me. Seeing the world in a new way everyday is amazing! Less

I had my eye-laser Operation on October 1st, 2024. I was not scared or anxious, because everyone at the hospital treated me like a special guest. The op did not take long and once I removed the eye-shields that evening, my vision was perfect! I thought I would have to wait a day or three for clear vision, but I could see perfectly that very same day.The post-op care had been explained to me thoroughly and when I visited the Ophthalmologist, Dr Beatty for a check-up the next day, I could not thank them enough.Thank you once again for this wonderful life-changing experience.Elise Less

I underwent cataract surgery and the Lasik procedure at the Atlantic Eye Specialists clinic in Cape Town. The experience was very pleasant. Both Dr. D McClulan and his staff were very pleasant and the standard of care was exemplary. Less

Dr McClunan and his team are exceptional. They provided the best care and most importantly, corrected my vision with the LASIK procedure. The whole process was seemless and pain free. My only regret is not doing it sooner. Less
