Founded in 2018, the Centre Ophtalmologique Dr. Sounny is a modern, fully equipped eye clinic situated in Inezgane, Agadir. The centre provides a full spectrum of ophthalmic services—from routine examinations and contact-lens fitting to complex cataract, refractive and retinal surgeries—under the supervision of American Academy of Ophthalmology member Dr. Aalaeddine Sounny. With Arabic, French and English spoken on-site, the clinic combines international standards, child-friendly spaces and accessible facilities to serve the region’s diverse community.
Established in 2018, the Centre Ophtalmologique Dr. Sounny has swiftly become a reference point for high-quality vision care in the Souss-Massa region of Morocco. Conveniently located on Avenue Hassan II in Dcheira El Jihadia, the clinic was founded by Dr. Aalaeddine Sounny, an accomplished ophthalmologist whose career includes tenures at the renowned 20 Août Hospital in Casablanca, the Military Hospital in Agadir and Trichguel Hospital. His memberships in both the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the French Association for Eye Surgery and Diseases reflect an ongoing commitment to continuous education and the adoption of best practices from around the world.
The clinic’s mission is to provide comprehensive, patient-centred eye care for individuals of all ages. Services begin with thorough diagnostic assessments that utilise cutting-edge imaging technologies to detect conditions such as keratoconus, glaucoma, retinal pathologies and refractive errors at their earliest and most treatable stages. Once a diagnosis is established, patients receive personalised treatment plans that may range from conservative management and specialty contact-lens fitting to advanced surgical interventions, including LASIK, PRK, phacoemulsification cataract extraction and retinal procedures.
A hallmark of the centre is its dedicated paediatric ophthalmology unit, designed to make young patients feel comfortable while enabling precise examinations of paediatric strabismus, amblyopia and congenital cataracts. Separate waiting zones, colourful décor and child-sized equipment help reduce anxiety for both children and their parents. For adult patients, ergonomically designed consultation rooms and a fully sterilised operating theatre ensure a seamless transition from evaluation to treatment.
Beyond clinical excellence, the facility emphasises accessibility and inclusivity. The building is equipped with elevators, wheelchair-accessible corridors and braille signage to accommodate patients with mobility or visual impairments. Multilingual staff members converse fluently in Arabic, French and English, ensuring that language is never a barrier to understanding one’s own health status or treatment options.
The centre operates from 09:00 to 19:00, Monday through Friday, and from 09:00 to 14:00 on Saturdays, allowing working professionals and families to book appointments without disrupting their daily schedules. Appointments can be arranged via telephone or email, and the clinic’s user-friendly website provides online pre-registration forms, postoperative instructions and educational articles about eye health.
Dr. Sounny and his team pride themselves on maintaining an evidence-based approach to care. Every procedure, whether a simple refractive error correction or a complex retinal repair, is preceded by a detailed consultation that covers expected outcomes, potential risks and postoperative care requirements. Follow-up visits are systematically scheduled to monitor healing and visual recovery, underscoring the clinic’s ethos of long-term partnership with its patients.
In recognition of its high standards, the clinic attracts not only local residents from Agadir and Inezgane but also patients from neighbouring provinces who are seeking reliable, technology-driven eye care. By integrating modern equipment, specialised subspecialty services and a compassionate, multilingual team, the Centre Ophtalmologique Dr. Sounny continues to solidify its reputation as a beacon of excellence in eye health throughout southern Morocco.
