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.

My first meeting with the clerical staff was very cordial, informative @ helpful. They took care of my charges for service explained The procedure for my visit. After getting verified that I was I was a new patient they directed me to the examination room. I met a staff member who performed my vision test. He was very informative @ told me what the next steps would be @ how his company could be of assistance/service to me. We set up follow up appointment on two weeks with an Optometrist. The appointment went rather smoothly @ quickly. I would give this service a 9. Nee customer.

I appreciate the care I get from the doctors here, but the wait times leave a lot to be desired. I shouldn’t be scheduled for a 10:00 appointment, only to have to wait to be seen by my doctor until 11:30. This office seems to run late on appointment times, even when I’ve been the first patient of the day. Improvement in wait times would be much appreciated.

Been there so many times. I am pleased with first of all Renee getting me in at a last moment's time due to my ocular issues. The set up staff Analisa, displayed a very joyfilled demeanor and it was very clear she loved her job. The give excellent instructions on each process she would perform in preparation for the Dr to come in, drops, dilation, pictures, etc. I find the doctors there to be extremely competent, knowledgeable, professional and insightful. Their explanation of the eye health is very valuable and easy to understand. It seems they take pride in helping their patients and to assist in making them better. Plus they will squeeze you in if you happen to have an unscheduled flair up in your condition. They are great! I highly recommend they for your eye health needs.
