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.

Highly recommended. Initially eye doctor Pontius recommended a well known name in the community. After having the pre-surgery interview with the Zeiter Group we became very uncomfortable. In essence the eye doctor told us he could not use laser but he had to cut with the knife. He also warned us that he may have to go twice to the same eye to remove pretty hardened cataract. At such point we conducted an internet search for best eye cataract surgeon and the Valley Laser & Surgery came up as most recommended by the equivalent of Consumer Reports for the medical profession. After looking up the qualification of key doctors we realized they had received training at Stanford and part of an eye program well known in the nation as perhaps the best of its kind. At such point we decided to switch and perform the cataract surgery for an 86-year old member of the family w/ Dr. Kim. The surgery went exceptionally well. Not only laser was used (which Zeiter told us it couldn't use for this patient due to hardened cataract) but there were zero complications. The patient feels wonderful; the vision on both eyes is 20/50 and it's a great improvement for the quality of life of the patient. It also gave us the satisfaction that we made the right choice.
