Procedures Performed

Common outpatient procedures performed at this ambulatory surgery center, based on reported specialties.

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 recently visited Advance Eye Center with my father, and we had one of the best experiences we’ve ever had in the healthcare industry. Josefina was the young lady who assisted us throughout the entire process, and she truly stood out. She is intelligent, knowledgeable, and incredibly compassionate. Josefina showed genuine interest in our situation, approached everything with humility, and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable while making a very important decision for my father. Her professionalism and kindness made a world of difference. If you have the privilege of being cared for by Josefina, I’m confident you’ll receive the same exceptional treatment we did. Great work—absolutely no complaints!

Cannot recommend this practice. They inflate their billing with charges for procedures that should be included as part of exam. Was charged additional $115 to have one eyelash removed that was turned inward at suggestion of doctor during exam. Was not told there would be an additional charge for him to do this, otherwise I would have declined. Charging patients for services without disclosing costs (or the potential for additional cost) is not a way to do good business. Be careful if you use this practice.

My experience was phenomenal. Everyone was so friendly AND thorough. I was super nervous as l wasn't receiving the proper care at the last eye doctor I went to. Dr. Kim didn't rush me out and listened to my concerns without making me feel stupid. A rarity in healthcare nowadays. Already referred my mom and will be taking my daughter as well. Thank you so much!!

Making the appointment was so easy, and the reminders were helpful. Once at the office, everyone was professional and friendly. All of the assistants couldn’t have been more pleasant. Dr. Ackerman was very easy to relate with and explained everything in a professional manner, but also wanted to be sure that I understood the proposed procedures. All in all…very happy with my experience.

I've been a patient of this practice for many years and have always received excellent care. This visit was especially good because of the very professional care from the two women who did the preliminary workup. I only got one name, Josefina, but they both were well trained, friendly and answered all my questions. All the other staff from front desk to checkout were very professional, helpful and friendly.
