    Dr David Gunn and all the staff at Qld Eye Hospital went above and beyond to make my Cataract Surgery as comfortable as possible. Dr Gunn explained how the procedure would take place and put me at ease with any concerns. From the day of surgery and all the after care, I knew I was in good hands. A big thank you to everyone involved especially the lovely ladies on reception. Everything was explained so well with payment etc. Top job and I’m over the moon to be glasses free and excited about seeing Gods creations in a new light. Blessings Vicky

    I still can't believe how easy it was to under go my eye operation on both eyes to remove cataracts and have bifocals lenses fitted. Being a little nervous at first about the operation, I need not have been. I was very much at ease after my first meeting with Dr Gunn and was looked after very well from the office staff to theatre staff and Dr Gunn. My biggest surprise was when I was reading fine print within the first few hours after the operation. Fantastic! . I still can't believe how hassle free the procedure was. Thank you Dr Gunn and your team for a great job. Elly L

    Had LASIK through Dr David Gunn and his team. Approachable and down to earth team. His anaesthetist who’s name I cannot recall was awesome, gave me one the best anaesthetics I’ve experienced. The optometrist Carmen is very knowledgeable in regards to LASIK, by the time I saw Dr Gunn I had run out of questions to ask!

    Started off very apprehensive I mean it's your eyes and you thinking I could go blind. Dr Gunn and his team were excellent in reassuring me about the procedure. Everything went super smooth 👌, from the literature to the operation both days to the post care I couldn't be more happier. The fact I went from ⛅️ cloudy vision to a whole new world 🌎 was amazing. I want to thank Dr Gunn for deciding to study this profession he is the best.These are the people we need .Thank you and your team. I CAN READ AGAIN.THANKS.

    Dr Gunn is very approachable and easy to talk to. He gives handouts to explain the procedure, as well as some explanation at the time of consultation. The whole process from beginning to end was organised very well. The eye hospital staff were terrific and caring. I can't recommend Dr Gunn highly enough.

    What an amazing and highly gifted surgeon. Fantastic facilities and state of the art equipment. Strongly recommend Dr Gunn for laser eye surgery and all forms of vision correction surgery

  • 5/5 Timothy H. 8 months ago on Google
    I am thrilled to write this glowing review for Dr. David Gunn and his exceptional team! My LASIK surgery experience with them was nothing short of remarkable, and I am incredibly grateful for the life-changing results I have achieved. The LASIK procedure itself was quick and painless. Dr. Gunn and his team were meticulous in explaining each step, ensuring I was well-informed and comfortable throughout the entire process. The immediate improvement in my vision post-surgery was astounding. I could hardly believe the clarity and sharpness I was experiencing. The follow-up care has been equally impressive. Dr. Gunn's team has been in regular contact, monitoring my progress and addressing any questions or concerns I've had. It's evident that they genuinely care about my ongoing satisfaction and well-being. I can't thank Dr. David Gunn and his team enough for the incredible gift of clear vision they've given me. They have exceeded my expectations, and I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone considering LASIK surgery. If you're looking for a talented, compassionate, and dedicated team to trust with your vision, look no further than Dr. Gunn's practice.

    Dr Gunn is a true professional; knowing he is top of his field, his beautiful caring manner and his wonderful staff made my eye surgery experience worth the trip to Brisbane. I can recommend the whole Dr. Gunn experience is the best from start to finish. AND I now have 20:20 vision! Karen Berry

    I was referred to Dr Gunn for a second opinion by an optometrist friend. Undergoing eye surgery, like any surgery) isn't for the faint hearted and I was a nervous wreck about it. From the first to the last appointment, David and his staff have been phenomenal. The thorough testing, David's level of empathy and engagement, the care during the days of surgery and after service are of a level that many other medical institutions should use as a bench mark.

  • 5/5 Toni P. 6 months ago on Google
    I had two eyes done for cataracts and did a fair bit of research as I was very nervous about someone operating on my eyes. Dr Gunn's reviews were great so I took a chance and I'm so happy I did! He is kind, caring, talented and my eyes are perfect now. The whole thing was almost painless and I could see pretty well immediately after. Now I have better than 20/20 vision. Thank you Dr Gunn and your helpful team.

    Dr Gunn is simply the star!! Thank you so much for looking so well after me. Everything was perfect from the first appointment till the post surgery review. #realgun

  • 5/5 Jonathon S. 4 months ago on Google
    This was my only experience with LASIK, and I can say it was magical. The whole set up is like a well oiled machine and everything went so smoothly. I definitely recommend Dr Gunn and his team.

  • 5/5 Sandra T. 6 months ago on Google
    I visited 2 other Opthamologists who were also experienced, but chose Dr Gunn, through a recommendation. I’m very happy with my choice, and the outcome. He was also very nice and explained the procedure/options clearly. I can now drive safely and legally. Thank You! 👁️👁️👍😊

  • 5/5 Aneurin H. 8 months ago on Google
    David recently undertook cataract surgery on both my eyes. The results were excellent, and I no longer have to wear glasses. I found the pre and post consultation, as well as the surgery were undertaken in a very professional manner. Based on my experience, I highly recommend Dr David Gunn.

  • 5/5 Suzie G. 6 months ago on Google
    I cannot recommend Dr David Gunn more highly. I had my Pterygiums on both eyes done prior to Cateract Surgery with Lens Replacement. Best money I have ever spent. No regrets, I now have near perfect vision. This is coming after wearing coke bottle thick glasses, thinned down by seven, tri-vocals for most of my life. I wanted to be glasses free & now I am. Dr Gunns beside manner is impeccable, he genuinely cares about his patients, their lives & circumstances, as well as the procedures he performs. My Husband went through a quadruple bypass after suffering a severe heart attack & through this time, having to postpone my second Surgeries ( Lens Replacement ) I found Dr Gunn to be so very supportive of my circumstances. I also suffer severe Anxiety. I went through the first Surgery ( Pterygium ) highly anxious, but he made sure 100 % that I was doing well, before, after & post op that I was doing well. The last appointment he still asked “ How I was doing ? “ & told me he had checked each time to see how I’d come through. Now that’s genuine concern & empathy for his patients. I breezed through the last three ops like a pro because of him, the nurses, anesthetist’s the hospital, I cannot fault the whole experience. Dr David Gunn is someone I will always be Grateful for & I am so glad he was my Surgeon. If your thinking of getting Surgery I 110 % recommend Queensland Eye Institute & my Surgeon Dr David Gunn. Kind Regards Susan George

  • 5/5 Herman K. 4 months ago on Google
    I had recent cataract surgery on both eyes. Prior to surgery I received a comprehensive written and verbal explanation regarding the procedure, expected outcomes and risks. Even though the risks are minimal, they are there. The treatment was very professional and friendly. The outcome exceeded my expectations. I was informed that I will still need reading glasses, but I can manage well without them. Distance vision is extremely good. I would recommend Dr Gunn at any time.

  • 5/5 Karen C. 4 months ago on Google
    I had lens implants in both eyes and I’m very happy with the results. David recommended mono vision lenses to suit my lifestyle. David and his team are friendly, professional, knowledgeable and efficient. If for some reason you have a few months wait to see him, he’s worthwhile waiting to see.

  • 5/5 Janelle N. 1 year ago on Google
    On 2 and 3 June 2022, Dr David Gunn, Ophthalmologist and Eye Surgeon from the Queensland Eye Institute operated on my eyes to remove cataracts on each eye and he replaced my natural lenses with new artificial intraocular lenses. My operations were successful and I can read perfectly now without the aid of glasses. Dr Gunn was recommended to me, and I would agree that he’s knowledgeable, innovative and approachable. His office and hospital staff were all efficient and helpful. In addition, the Queensland Eye Institute is accessible, clean and has a considerable amount of modern eye testing equipment. I’m very pleased with the results. Sincerely, Janelle N.

    Dr Gunn was so clear, calm and informative. It was such an easy experience and my recovery has been seamless. I would recommend him without reservation.

  • 5/5 Gi B. 10 months ago on Google
    We are highly appreciative of the high standard of care received from Dr Gunn, clinical optometrists, QEI receptionists, South Bank Day hospital admission staff and nurses. A well organised, very professional and truly caring team. All our concerns and queries were addressed well, we were provided with enough information from consultation, pre-admission, with thanks to our anaesthetist Dr Benjamin Crooke, nurses from recovery room and discharge. We had follow up calls to check how things were going. Thank you, Dr Gunn and your entire QEI team, our 20/20 vision is back- From Eric, Maria and Patrick

  • 5/5 Ross W. 1 year ago on Google
    Dr Gunn took great interest in providing me with the best possible solution to suit my active lifestyle. Having a cataract at a reasonably young age, it required a slightly different approach to IOL choice. His care following the procedure and in the follow up appointment was incredible. My overall experience was excellent.

  • 5/5 Julian H. 11 months ago on Google
    I was referred to Dr Gunn by SpecSavers, and I am extremely pleased with the outcome. The various procedures and options were explained clearly, the surgeries (laser resurfacing of the cornea, and cataract removals and new lens insertions) went extremely well - and my vision is now the best that it has ever been!

  • 5/5 Debra H. 10 months ago on Google
    The whole process was easy and a complete success as I have 20/20 vision once again. Dr Gunn’s team at the Qld Eye Institute as well as the surgical team at the South Bank Day Hospital were all professional and polite. Dr Gunn provided me with all the necessary information required to make a decision on the type of lens and any related issues / side effects.

  • 5/5 Sandra L. 11 months ago on Google
    After 25 years, I don't need glasses except for close work, and these low power, standard lenses. Previously I was locked into top of the range, expensive multi-focals plus readers. Such a relief, financially, physically and emotionally. For such a complex operation, it runs smoothly with no integration issues. I had total trust in Dr Gunn and colleagues from beginning to end, despite them working on my precious eyes. Fast, friendly and efficient service. Highly recommended. Many thanks all. Sandra

  • 5/5 ROFLJ 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic experience with ICL, From the start I felt comfortable with the level of detail Dr David Gunn's clinic was going into everything and providing me with detailed information eye scans and my individual requirements. When it came time for the surgery all staff were extremely professional and helping with my nervousness. My overall experience was overwhelmingly positive and it was clear that every little detail was catered for proving for a very smooth experience.

  • 5/5 Roslyn H. 1 year ago on Google
    Had both eyes operated for cataract removal in June and July 2022. Process was easy and every step was explained by David and the staff of the Eye clinic. Very professional, but personal service provided and I never felt rushed and all questions were answered, plus lots of written information on the procedures provided for reading before each surgery. Follow up phone calls after operations to see how I was going after surgery was appreciated. A very well organised service. Recommended.

  • 5/5 Peter R. 1 year ago on Google
    Extremely happy with the result of my lense replacement surgery. This has changed my life. Dr Gunn is a true professional and really top guy. I definitely recommend him and his team. I am forever grateful, thanks "top gun"

  • 5/5 Marc S. 1 year ago on Google
    Dr Gunn was recommended to me by my optometrist & am so glad he did. Cliched to say, but the procedure is life changing for me. I needed 4 different glasses for a variety of tasks, now I do not need any glasses ever! Perfect 20/20 vision again. So very happy with the results. All of the interactions I had with Dr Gunn and his staff were excellent and extremely positive. Have and will continue to recommend him and the Qld Eye Institute!

  • 5/5 Paul W. 1 year ago on Google
    Doctor David Gunn is a fabulous eye surgeon. He is caring, utterly professional, and his level of skill is unsurpassed. I would recommend him to anyone who demands the best!

  • 5/5 Helen D. 1 year ago on Google
    My experience with Dr Gunn as the surgeon for my cataracts was exemplary. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better and his administration and surgical teams were the best as well. It was lovely dealing with everyone and am recommending him to anyone who needs him. Thank you so much Cheers Helen Dawson

  • 5/5 Vicki G. 1 year ago on Google
    Dr Gunn was absolutely worth travelling from the Gold Coast to Brisbane for cataract surgery. He exemplifies all you would want in a doctor, he takes the time to ensure you understand the procedure, he is very personable, making you feel comfortable to ask questions and shows genuine concern for the best outcome for you. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

😠 Steer clear of these extortionists. We asked them to provide a copy of a contact lens prescription after they conducted an eye exam, something they are required to provide by law, and they tried to squeeze even more money out of us for it.
