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 stopped by this office to inquire about service for my dad (the lobby was not full and there was not a line). The receptionist that "assisted" me did not seem to want to answer my questions, kept referring me to the Mishawaka office, and wouldn't give me an estimate. It is upsetting to want to gain some sort of information and not be helped. Looking at the reviews left here it does not seem that this company has good costumer service skills. We will not be scheduling with this company, or referring them to anyone.

Meghan was helpful, competent and professional. She was willing to work with us in our schedules to get seven different appointments on the calendar and then she also helped us apply for a care credit card.

Staff @ both buildings A & B were very nice & professional. Answered all my questions & listened to my concerns. They treated me like a person & not a number. And when I went in for my cateract surgery in my 2nd eye, a few of the techs remembered me from the week before.

Would highly recommend Cataract and Laser institute if you are planning cataract surgery. Staff is extremely professional, friendly and helpful. Surgery was scheduled 1 week after consultation. What a difference it made in my vision! I can't say enough good things about this place!!

I've had bilateral eye surgery to remove cataracts in both eyes. I've had bilateral YAG eye surgeries in both eyes. They've done an amazing job on my eyes. The doctors, PA, nurses & staff have all been very courteous, professional, helpful, thorough, very kind & extremely talented. I highly recommend them for your cataract & laser eye surgery needs.
