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.

Incredible experience. I got LASIK here, at Idaho Eye and Laser Center, and it was the best thing I've ever done! They answered all of my questions (which I had a lot of, because I was nervous), and even gave me lots of chances to ask MORE questions. They had a lot of great people that clearly knew exactly what they were doing; their team was locked in and had the process down perfectly. Everyone was fantastic, and the procedure itself was nice and fast. It's been about 1.5 months since I got LASIK and my eyesight is settling in and it's fantastic not to have to struggle with glasses everyday anymore.

I had cataract surgery done in both eye this week and what an amazing experience. From the first visit to the final exam I felt totally at ease and highly recommend them to anyone looking at getting cataract surgery. A special shout out Bruce the van driver for helping me get from the hotel to the eye center multiple times.
