Welcome to Atlantic Eye Laser Centre, a pioneering vision in the field of laser eye surgery. This center represents an exciting merger between Dr. Daemon McClunan and Dr. James Beatty, two renowned experts committed to providing innovative laser eye surgery solutions. Our goal is clear and simple: to help you see the world with clarity and confidence, without the dependence on glasses or contact lenses.

When you choose the Atlantic Eye Laser Centre, your eye care will be provided by one of our highly qualified experts, with advanced eye surgery training and internationally renowned fellowship/subspecialty training. Our ophthalmologists are still actively involved in training new ophthalmologists, and also provide subspeciality training at Groote Schuur and Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospitals.

Our patients have access to some of the latest imaging and surgical technology available. From the Zeiss imaging platforms to the lightlance laser suite with micropulse technology and Zeiss CALLISTO computer-assisted surgery microscope.
Our approach to vision correction is customised to your visual needs and lifestyle. During your comprehensive assessment, we examine your eyes and learn about your work, hobbies, sports and expectations, and this helps us find the very best treatment for you.

Come in for a screening

Your ophthalmologist maps your cornea, measures your prescription, and assesses whether SMILE, or any procedure,  is appropriate for your eyes. This is where suitability is confirmed. Cost of the screening will be given when you book.

Decide with full information

If you are a candidate and choose to go ahead, your ophthalmologist will walk through the procedure, the risks, what to expect, and the full cost in writing. Surgery is only scheduled once you are satisfied and have given informed consent.

Hi, I’m Daemon McClunan

I’m proud to be the founder of both the Atlantic Eye Centre, a leading eye specialist centre; and LIQID Medical Pty, an award-winning biotech company. My passion for research and innovation has led me to create four patented devices, and earn various prestigious awards during my specialist training.

With a medical degree from Stellenbosch University, a specialist degree from the University of Cape Town, and experience working in renowned Laser Eye Surgery centres in Canada, Germany, India and London, I’m dedicated to providing top-tier care.

Beyond the clinic, I’ve embarked on humanitarian missions, travelling over 15,000km by motorbike to provide rural eye screenings. In my downtime, I love mountain biking, diving, and spending quality time with my family.

My goal is to provide a world-class service which ensures every patient leaves my practice feeling happier than when they first walked in.
