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.

Was notified glasses were in, got here at 1, sign on door CLOSED FROM 12:30 TO 1:30.waited till 130 still closed, went inside second sign five feet from front door says closed until 1:45. At 1:45 they finally showed up. I asked the lady why the did not update their web page when they change their office hours and she just grind and said they had no control over their page. So I asked did that pretty them from updating thr sign on the door and she just said sorry. This place obviously discounts their clients time but I will definitely not be back.

They will take upwards of 2 hours for a regular eye check, in which you might get to see the doctor for 10 minutes . I’m guessing plenty of people are getting fed up that they have begun to post the times you will be waiting, as if posting this into. you will be there for hours for a 10 minute appointment makes it better.

The doctor was very kind and thorough and I especially want to commend Nick the person who did the basic tests before the doctor saw me. He was very calm and a great listener and because of him, I felt like all my concerns were addressed. Overall is was the very best experience.

They have a no refund policy for ordered glasses my prescription was wrong and the line was either to high or to low cause was very wavy. While they did say I could have another exam to get it right its a 2 hr drive round trip.So I just had them get rid of the bifocal line and I had to tell them what prescription I needed to see close up so in the end I have a 200.00 plus pair of reading glasses. Never going back.l
