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.

Highest quality operation I've been involved with. Every person I dealt with knew their "stuff" and were personable , helpful, and pleasant. Dr. Kim is certainly first rate. I could not be more pleased. Thank you for my new eyes. A life changing event.

CEC made my first cataract procedure go so smoothly! The check in nurse, the prep nurses, the anesthesiologist, were all wonderful! I can’t say anything about the doctor because I was out by the time she, Dr. Kim, entered.😀 But my results speak for themselves - no problems three days out from the surgery! Vision much improved! I look forward to actually seeing the world through a new set of lenses!!!😀

Jade was absolutely amazing! She was the first person my daughter and I had contact with. She was very thorough. She was easy to converse with and her customers service skills were top notch. The only item I had an issue with was the 400$ copay. No one had made me aware of this in any of the conversations that followed my initial contact with Clayton Eye Center. My insurance company didn’t let me know either so it was an unpleasant surprise to be told this information at the last minute. I was not financially able to make the payment so it fell upon my daughter. It put a damper on the excitement of having a new lens put in. I wish this hadn’t happened. Perhaps that is one of the first items they should share with you when discussing surgery.

The surgery was completely painless, and I had the surgery yesterday and today I can see clearly from my eye. I can’t wait to get the other one done. Dr. Jennifer Kim is so good. The entire staff made the whole procedure goes smoothly. I wasn’t scared at all and I didn’t have any reason to be. I am so thankful that I’ve been able to have the surgery done. I highly recommend this clinic.

I was warmly greeted on arrival and directed to the Kiosk to check in. The check in process was seamless and easy. The details of pre and post surgery was explained in a professional and caring manner. The Technicians and my surgeon Dr. John Allen made sure I was at ease and comfortable. That warm blanket was indeed appreciated!. The office also scheduled my follow-up visit with my regular Eye Doctor. On a lighter note, one of the Technicians knew the history surrounding my first name!
