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.

The entire team here has been absolutely wonderful. They fixed a recurring eye erosion that I had been dealing with for 4 months. Dr. Shah and Dr. Evans are great to work with.

Had a great experience as a new patient being evaluated for Lasix! The whole process was very thorough and didn’t take too long even with the very busy day they were having. Dr. Shah was wonderful and answered all of my questions and made sure I felt comfortable with everything! Highly recommend this group.

This was our first visit to Georgia Eye Clinic, and we had a fantastic experience. The front desk staff was very welcoming and friendly, especially Daniel and Marlee, who were professional and courteous. The office is clean, modern, and well organized. Dr. Shah was wonderful—kind, caring, and took the time to make us feel comfortable. We have nothing but the highest praise for the doctors and staff and highly recommend Georgia Eye Clinic!

This is an amazing group. Everyone in this office is professional, well trained and sincerely cares. Dr. Shah is the best eye doctor in this country. I have had surgery at Bascom Palmer in Miami- Dr. Shah is better than any doctor I saw there.
