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.

Dr. Mishra is so kind. I highly recommend him. The facility is clean and staff are excellent. I had a biopsy done of the bottom of my left eye lid. They walked me through the entire procedure. I would recommend him & his nurses every time.

I am from out of town and had an episode of flashing light and floaters in my right eye a couple of nights ago. I thought I might have a tear in my retina so I called and scheduled an appointment with The Eye Associates. I was able to schedule an appointment for the same day I called. I had some testing done and saw the physician and found out there was no retinal tear, a great relief! Everyone was very professional, the office was clean and quiet - a great experience! Thank you to the The Eye Associate!

I needed to have eye pressure checked due to increase noted on general visit. An appointment was set up with Dr R. Taylor Davis. He was very attentive listening when describing problems with vision, and very quick to understand and provide explanations as to diagnosis and potential treatments. He has a very strong like able personality.

I was having issues with my eye for two days. A friend told me about this place and how amazing Dr. Berger is and she was so right !!! he is incredible and after the exam we realize I was having a detached retina And he did the procedure the same day , and was amazing explaining everything to me in And all my options. I’ve been working for doctors my whole life and it’s hard to find a doctor that truly care for their patients and Dr. Berger showed so much compassion and made me feel that I matter ! that I wasn’t just another number on his schedule .and his staff was incredible too.
