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.

I have lived in Florida for about 8 years. I have been in and out of different appointments and different procedures. I have never been treated with such respect and care in that hole eight years that I have at St John's surgery when I had my surgery. Fantastic job you all. Keep up the great work.

A wonderful place to go. The Staff are amazing from the front desk lady Biscelgia to all the Medical Staff. They take such good care of you. My Mother and I went to vote and the lady next to her we believed accidently took her Cataract glasses. We went down to the Surgery Center, and they were closed. Still two young employees where getting into their cars across the parking lot to leave. Instead of leaving they stopped and asked us if they could help us. Angel and Allie, they were clearly leaving but upon hearing what happened to my mom both ran back to the building to get my mother another pair of protective glasses and brought it right to our car while we waited. A+ I want to let the management know your employees go the extra mile even at the end of their shifts. God Bless you two! THANK YOU!!!

Dr. Priest-Allen is a professional that explains your condition and a plan to best meet the goals for your eyesight. She performed my cataract surgery and while I was understandable nervous, she made me feel confident that all would be well.
