I recently (June 2021) had cataract surgery with Dr Dylan Joseph. Every step of the way was professional, from the examination and assessment phase (during which I was fully informed in a manner that I could understand) through the post-operative stage. At all times I felt I was in safe hands and in the care of a first class professional. My procedures were successful and I now have the vision of a twenty-year old. Having to use spectacles for reading is a small price to pay for having my vision so wonderfully restored. It would be remiss of me not to acknowledge Dr Joseph’s support team who ensured, in every respect, that my experience was so fantastic.

Thank you so much to Dr Josephs and his team. I took the trip from Cape Town to get my LASIK eye surgery done by the best, and it was worth every single minute. Thank you for making the whole experience so professional but also warm. I will be forever thankful for my new sight, and look forward to experiencing this world in it’s true colours.

After my wife had her cataract procedure and me having to collect her, I thought it might be a good idea to have a “check up “myself. My own eyes where done 10yrs. ago and at the time I only had two options. Either you could opt to have lens implants for near vision or alternatively for further vision. I opted for further vision with very good results. Dr.Joseph informed me after a consultation that things have advanced and with latest technology he could modify my one lens so i would be able to see far and have no problems with near vision. His suggestion was to laser the weaker eye for near vision. It is the second day after the procedure and gone is the specs. I am thrilled with the results which now means i do not need readers for golf or guess my way around a Garmin unit when cycling. I also need to compliment the team for their professionalism. It is a world class facility and makes one proud to know that this expertise is available on our doorstep.

Dr. Dylan Joseph vs very experienced and makes the removal of cataracts an easy and pleasant experience as he makes it a personal and happy event. All the staff are very pleasant and the rooms and day hospital are spotless and welcoming.

Thank you Dylan for restoring my eyesight! Quick, painfree and professional. A very rewarding experience indeed.

After 60 I simply came to accept that my vision was only half the man I used to be when at 64 during Covid lockdown in 2020, Dylan’s name and the awesome work he does for tired old “cataracted” eyes was mentioned by a cycling comrade. Now, I love mountain biking and your confidence is challenged on a fast single track without good vision which normally translates into quick response and avoiding injury or even death. Not to mention trying to decipher what your smart watch and Strava device are trying to tell you without readers on the trail. I am also a photographer and need good vision to record the beauty of life in crisp focus and colour. Dylan Joseph provided exactly what he told me he would with the amazing skills and technology he has acquired. My eyesight has been restored to a level I value so much and I am able to continue enjoying the outdoors, photography, cycling and surfing without glasses at close, medium and long range. Many folks are afraid of someone meddling with their precious eyes but I can tell you categorically that although we all know that getting old is not for sissy’s, Dylan Joseph’s corrective surgery for cataracts gives one an amazing new lease on life! Thanks Dylan and team!

I will be forever gratefull to Dr Dylan and his team. Did Lasik on both my eyes. Not even an hour after procedure and my eye sight were better than with glasses. I have to mention, it was not once sore. Amazing amazing amazing.. Thank you !!!!!!

I consider myself very privileged to have found the very best eye surgeon. The latest technology, professional treatment and thoroughness made my experience one off a kind. No stress, no fuss. Thank you Dr Joseph -you and your staff are THE BEST.

Dr Dylan Joseph did an absolutely amazing job on my eyes. After having worn contact lenses for 48 years and strong Astigmatism, he corrected my eyes to 100% eyesight. No lenses or reading glasses anymore! Thank you Dr Joseph, you are the best ever!

Dr Dylan Joseph is an excellent ophthalmologist. He has the Midas touch. I had cataract surgery in my left and right eye. My life has changed forever, I can apply perfect lipstick in a normal mirror, read price tags, read a restaurant menu without glasses. Visit Dr Joseph and change your quality of life forever. Toss those glasses out. Live your best life through your eyes.

Dr Dylan Joseph removed my cataracts and gave me back my sight. I can see close up with my left eye and distance with my right eye. When I went to the hairdresser I was able to go up to the mirror and reapply my lipstick perfectly. Dr Joseph changed my life in every way.

Dylan Joseph is actually the best. Latest technology, he has by far the most positive independent google reviews and has years of international experience. I had my eyes done last week and it has been an incredible experience from start to finish. The staff are amazing, attentive and just so down to earth. He is so professional and each option is explained from start to finish. I did a lot of research before hand and when it comes to your eyes you only want the best in the business. I cant speak enough about how awesome thy are and how quick the procedure was.

My cataract surgery was a wonderful experience from start to finish. I felt very safe in the competent hands of Dr Dylan Joseph. The results were a huge success, and I now have 20/20 vision. Mariska upfront is extremely helpful and pleasant, as are the rest of Dr Joseph’s Team. We are fortunate to have available to us in Knysna such expertise in a state of art facility. Many Thanks once again

Gail D Gavrill

Thank you so much Dr Joseph!

I was one of the very first in the country to “brave” laser surgery to correct long distance vision some 30 years ago. Sadly, the operation was not successful and in fact my cornea was scarred to the extent that I needed to wear glasses all the time (multifocal) and have them replaced sometimes more often than annually (at significant cost over the years).

My husband was ecstatic with the results he achieved following corrective surgery by Dr Joseph and this gave me the courage to approach him as well, not with much hope I might add that anything could be done to sort out my failing vision.

Well just like my husband’s surgery, success was achieved and now a whole new world of vision lies before me – only needing reading glasses for computer work and reading.

In my opinion, Dr Joseph is in a class of his own when it comes to corrective surgery – (having had appointments with so many in this field over the years).

I cannot recommend Dr Joseph highly enough and wish him and his highly professional team every success as they grow their business.

Knysna is fast becoming a seat of ophthalmic excellence!

Heather Pieterse

When I first consulted Dr. Joseph five years ago for a retinal tear, which was successfully repaired, I was immediately impressed by his knowledge, skill and thorough explanation of the procedure. This year Dr. Joseph successfully performed cataract surgery on my eyes, which was a completely painless and uncomplicated experience from start to finish. After 60 years of wearing spectacles, I can now do without them. Dr Joseph is more impressive than ever. It is obvious that this man is passionate about his work and goes the extra mile to get the best possible result for each patient. It is a pleasure to visit his practice – his enthusiasm and attention to detail are shared by all of his staff.

Bill & Kamila Nortier

I would recommend Dr. Dylan Joseph for any cataract/laser surgery. After a thorough examination and his observation of my lifestyle, Dr. Joseph advised the type of lenses that will suit me. I cannot remember ever having such an experience before or after an operation. The staff I was dealing with were competent, friendly and very efficient. If you have any fear for such surgery and you want quality care make an appointment as soon as possible. He comes highly recommended and is kind but professional.

You will never forget that first moment when your vision is restored again. Thank you so much for making this possible for me.

Veronica Rimbault

Thank you for your very warm welcome last Friday at your wonderful new ‘state-of-the-art’ consulting rooms!  Your two years absence abroad has not changed you one little bit, and it was a real pleasure to see you again!

As after our last appointment prior to your departure overseas, I must express my very grateful thanks to you yet once again for restoring my peace of mind!  After all your amazingly comprehensive examinations were completed, the ‘All-Clear’ outcome instantly assured me that indeed, all is safe and well!  Incredibly good and encouraging news that at my stage in life means all the world!  Thank you for your part in that!

My only regret — all things remaining equal — is that there may now no longer be further need to see you!  So may I take this opportunity to wish you, your beautiful wife and your daughters, your practice, and your abode back here in South Africa, all the blessings of a really good “wind at your back”!

Seeing for reading, driving, views and sunsets are all so important to me. The Lasik surgery was a painless procedure in the most professional of hands and I would recommend this miraculous, virtually instantaneous procedure to anyone who battles to focus clearly in some or other manner. Not only is Dylan Joseph a great and talented doctor at the forefront of the latest surgery, but also his before and aftercare manner is exceptional too. Knysna is so lucky to have this available right on our doorstep. I am happy to be rid of the frustrations that come with reading glasses! Thank you again and again!

Cherril Anastassiades

Thank you, Dr. Joseph for your passion and personal interest in achieving the best vision possible for each of your patients. I had cataract surgery two weeks ago on eyes that have very different vision as a result of a childhood squint. The lenses you chose for me have resulted in excellent sight without glasses. Amazing. Your knowledge, experience, equipment and team are world class. We are so fortunate to have you in Knysna.

Testimonials

Phillip Townsend

For the first time in 63 years, I can see without glasses! I now have a functional vision all the way from long-distance to reading: I can cycle without glasses, drive without them, watch TV without them. It really is amazing that cataract surgery has not only removed the haze but also corrected most of my other vision defects as well.

The procedures were quick and painless. Apart from a slight scratchiness while the tiny cuts healed there was no discomfort at all, and I was able to see perfectly well within an hour or two. From then on it just got better and better.

For driving and outdoor purposes I definitely need sunglasses now, because there is so many more light entering my eyes. The world is truly a brighter place…at least as far as my vision is concerned! I decided to have multi-focal photochromic lenses in my sunglasses, so as to have a pin-sharp vision for driving and also the ability to see really small objects close-up. But I don’t have HAVE to use them, and that makes all the difference. I am free from the tyranny of putting glasses on as soon as I wake up, and only taking them off when I go sleep. Wish I’d had that choice 60 years ago!

Many thanks to Dylan for improving my quality of life. He and his friendly and professional team made the whole process something to welcome, rather than to be faced in trepidation and anxiety.
