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 had a great experience with Thomas Eye Group. The onboarding process was smooth, well organized, and efficient, which made the visit stress-free from the moment I arrived. The staff was professional, friendly, and clearly focused on patient care. The treatment itself was handled efficiently without feeling rushed, and everything was explained clearly along the way. Overall, a very well-run practice that values both efficiency and quality care.

We have seen 3 different retinologists in the last year. Our last appointment was with Dr. Sunir Joshi. He was very personable and took a lot of time reviewing the file and listening to my mother’s concerns. He gave her the required injection while also noting other health concerns. He was treating the whole patient!! The other doctors, while competent, had scheduling issues. It is normal to wait 2-3 hours and appointments have been cancelled 3 times in the last few months.

I had a great experience at Eye Thomas Clinic. Ronda Skipper was professional, attentive, and kind. She explained the microneedling procedure clearly and took her time, being very careful throughout the treatment. The microneedling was done to help improve a scar after an excellent eyebrow pexy. I was seen on time and felt well cared for from start to finish. Highly recommend.

Had my consultation for cataract surgery today with Dr. Blasberg. He, and his whole staff, made you feel like family. Every aspect of the visit was great. He explained in great detail what was wrong with my eyes, the options available to correct my vision, and explained everything in layman's terms. He was kind, caring, and was glad to answer every question that I had. I was quite nervous about the upcoming surgery, but he put my mind at ease with his expertise. Dr Blasberg is the best in his field for cataract surgery . I highly recommend the Sandy springs location for Thomas Eye Group.
