Procedures Performed

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

Ophthalmology (Eye Surgery)6
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.

The 3rd eye care practice I've seen since moving to Flagstaff and by far the best. After 3 other eye clinics my search for professionalism is over. Highly recommend. Dr Grimh answered questions Ive asked for years and is the first eye specialist to be proactive about a recurring eye infection.

I have been seeing Dr. Amanda Grimh for a few years and have been so happy with the care she and her whole team provides. She is extremely thorough and knowledgeable. She is also very personable and kind. I highly recommend Eye care associates

Stellar! In my more than half-century of wearing glasses, my first time at Eye Care Associates resulted in far and away the best Rx ever I've had. Dr. McCullough's "which is better, one or two?" were astute as were her questions and understanding of my experiences with glasses. What's more, the preliminary exam and the precise marking of the progressive point were superbly done.

I have never had a more thorough eye exam. Dr. McCullough spent a long time explaining all my results. She told me what she is looking out for and what I should be concerned about. The staff at the office were extremely friendly and helpful. I picked out a new pair of glasses and can’t wait to pick them up.

What a great experience! I am so thankful that I found Dr. Patricia McCullough! My wife and I are new to Flagstaff and needed to make sure we have a good eye care team on our speed dial due to many issues Ive had with my eyes in recent years and we couldn’t be more pleased with the care and service we received as new patients! From the moment we walked in, my wife and I knew we found the right folks! I have had many procedures and exams on my eyes over the past 10 years and I can honestly say Ive never received the level of care and concern that Dr McCullough and her team provided! Five stars doesn’t seem enough for the experience we received on our first visit! We are both so thankful we found these folks!
