Procedures Performed

Common outpatient procedures performed at this ambulatory surgery center, based on reported specialties.

Cataract SurgeryThe clouded natural lens of the eye is removed and replaced with a clear artificial one. It is one of the most common outpatient procedures performed in the country, usually takes under 30 minutes per eye, and is done under light sedation with numbing drops rather than general anesthesia.LASIK / Refractive SurgeryA laser reshapes the cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism, reducing dependence on glasses or contacts. The procedure itself takes minutes per eye. Vision is often noticeably better within a day, though it can take several weeks to fully stabilize.Glaucoma SurgeryCreates a new drainage path for fluid inside the eye to lower internal pressure. Glaucoma damages the optic nerve silently, so the goal is preventing further vision loss rather than restoring vision already lost. Several minimally invasive options are now performed in outpatient settings.Retinal SurgeryRepairs the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye, most often for a detached or torn retina, or for bleeding related to diabetes. Timing matters — a detaching retina is treated urgently because delay increases the risk of permanent vision loss.Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)Removes excess skin and fat from the upper or lower eyelids. When drooping upper lids block part of the visual field, the procedure is functional rather than cosmetic and is often covered by insurance if visual field testing documents the obstruction.Corneal TransplantReplaces damaged or clouded corneal tissue with donor tissue. Modern techniques often replace only the affected layer rather than the full thickness, which shortens recovery. Vision improves gradually over months, and stitches may stay in place for a year or longer.

I had cataract surgery and paid way more than what I was quoted to have it done. Thousands of dollars later, I have to pay $400 more to have this "finished" because there was more scar tissue than he thought there would be. I have been very unhappy with the results. Although I can see better than I could before, the multifocal is underwhelming. The level of patient care sucks as well. I had a 1 month follow-up yesterday at 3:15. At around 4 when I was called back, everyone was in "going home mode". They didnt do the full examination because in my helpers words "everyone was ready to go home"! Dr Foster assured me that the in office procedure that I need is covered by insurance, only to be called today and be told that I would owe another $400. I will go blind before I let sub par patient care, and sketchy billing rule the day. Do not recommend.

The staff is nice but the wait times are ridiculous. Husband had cataract surgery at 6AM and then had to comeback for a follow up at 10:30AM the same day. We got to the follow up appointment at 10:20 and he was not called to the back until 11:45. Keep in mind he had anesthesia in his system and his eye was scratchy. Hubby just wanted to lay down. Horrible wait times. The staff is the only reason I gave this place any stars

My first cataract surgery was great,BUT my 2nd surgery was a negative experience. Not only did the nurse missed my veins 2x ,she had to get another nurse to do it right which left my hand and side black and blue and Then my Dr.(Foster) did not identify himself,as if I knew under the mask who it was. Then he leaves without saying onword and the only one who I can say were the best,well educated staff were Ms. Rosemary and the male who took me out in the wheelchair. very disappointed. I wasn't a patient that day,I was just another $$ figure.

Dr Lee performed cataract surgery on my dad. Had complications, which we knew was a possibility. The problem is Dr Lee allowed him to go 3 weeks with a detached retina before telling us that was the problem and referring us to a surgeon who could try to reattach it. Now he can't see out of that eye due to the 3 wks of staining, AND he keeps getting a bill for $20.00. So, they not only directly caused the loss of vision, but want him to pay them more for doing it!

Dr. Lee performed both of my cataract surgeries here one week apart, and I was very happy with the entire process. The staff were alll very friendly and personable, and made me feel comfortable and well cared for. I was very impressed with the nurses, anesthesiologist, and of course Dr. Lee! I wouldn't hesitate recommending Eye Surgery Center and Dr. Lee to anyone.
