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.

10 stars for Dr Lowery and Jerseyville Hospital where I had my first cataract removal. Not impressed in the least with Ideal Eye Surgery Outpatient Surgery Center.

I recently had cataract surgery in June, 2025 performed by Dr. Michael Stock at Ideal Eye Surgery. I cannot say enough about the wonderful care I received. From the very first consultation, Dr. Stock took the time to explain everything clearly, answer all my questions, and make me feel comfortable about the upcoming procedure. On the day of surgery, the entire team was professional, kind and reassuring. The procedure was smooth and much easier than I expected. I was amazed at how quickly I noticed the improvement in my vision, it feels like a whole new world has opened up to me. I now have my monovision back with the Light Adjustable Lens. The science behind this lens is incredible. Dr. Wolkart, who does the post op care with these adjustable light lens, took the time to make sure I was at the correct eyesight before he locked these in for me. He did a wonderful job explaining the technology to me. I am so happy not to be wearing glasses for close up or for distance anymore. What stands out most is not only Dr. Stock's skill as a surgeion, but also the compassion and care he showed me throughout the process. I always felt respected, understood and in the very best hands. I am so grateful for my wonderful experince this summer and I would definitely recomment Dr. Stock to anyone in need of cataract surgery.

Ideal Eye Surgery performed LASIK for me about a month ago. The doctors explained everything beforehand and have been great with my follow-up care to ensure everything healed as planned. I couldn’t ask for a better experience from start to finish.

My eye doctor at Koetting Eye Ctr in Brentwood, MO works with and recommended me to Dr. Michael Stock for my cataract surgery. I saw Stock at the office at 1715 Deer Tracks Trail, Des Peres, MO. The office workers, the eye techs and Dr. Stock couldn’t be more friendly, kind and supportive. Both eye cataract surgeries were done at the Advanced Surgery Ctr in Creve Couer, MO. The staff, nurses, anesthesiologist were very kind, supportive and efficient. My eyes have healed well and I’m seeing better than have in many many years. If I ever need eye surgery again I would diffently go back to Dr. Stock.

I recently had cataract surgery at Ideal Eye Surgery. Dr. Scott listened carefully to my questions and concerns. He responded to me clearly and thoroughly. The office staff and the medical staff were highly professional and caring. The care I received here was excellent.
