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.

Excellent service throughout. My cataract and glaucoma surgery was done in a quick (not rushed) professional manner. Phone call later that afternoon to check on me was important to me as I had, as I some questions. All normal. My best thing I can say is I would recommend Dr John Zeiter Jr. for any ocular surgery.

Every staff member was really friendly yet very professional and explained clearly what they were doing as I was prepped for my cataract surgery. The entire process was easier than I expected and I was impressed at how busy it was in pre-op and yet ran like a very experienced and smooth machine. I will be back for my other cataract soon and have complete confidence in the team! The only thing I would comment on was that with all of us patients in pre-op-room,with beds separated by curtains, it was easy to hear personal details of each other like birthdates and medical conditions, etc. during the preps for surgery. Overall, I think the Zeiter team is outstanding !

My recent visit to Zeiter Eye was a great visit. I arrived before my appointment time to find the reception staff available and ready to assist me. The wait time to be called in for my appointment was minimal. Every staff member was friendly, professional, patient and efficient. The entire office was very tidy & clean. I have been visiting Zeiter for several years for assistance with my eyesight. I have always been pleased and grateful for their professionalism, medical skill and care they have shown toward my eyesight issues. I definitely recommend Zeiter Eye.
