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.

Procedure list is based on CMS-reported specialty designations. Contact the facility to confirm specific procedures offered.

I have an appointment today at 8:45 to clean up my lens at the surgery center in Thousand Oaks. I received a phone call and a text message telling me to be here at 6:15, 2.5 hours early. I arrived at 6:15 but the outside door will not open and no one answered the three different phone numbers I have called. Someone coming to work in another office let me into the building and the office is open even though no one answered the phone. I have had this type of treatment before in the Westlake and Camarillo offices and I was not asked to arrive 2.5 hours early or pay $165 facility charge. Because of this I do not recommend the surgery center for minor laser treatment that you can have in the Westlake Office.

Dr. Bala performed cataract removal and enhanced corrective surgeries on my mother’s left eye. Dr. Bala and staff were very professional, kept us well informed, were friendly and attentive so my mother felt comfortable. We look forward to returning in 2 weeks to have surgery on her right eye as well. Thank you Dr. Bala and Team!!!

I recently had cataract surgery with Dr. Bala at this surgery center. Everyone involved in my surgery was kind and accommodating. Safina does an outstanding job in organizing all the patients’ surgeries and makes sure everything runs smoothly. It was a great experience. They even played Italian music for me! Everyone is just so friendly and made me feel so comfortable about the surgery. This excellent service is hard to come by these days.
