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 โ€” 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.

Very nice staff. I was explained in easy to understand language what was being done and what I needed to do. The wait times were not long. The waiting room and check in/out areas were very nice and clean. The optical/eyeglasses area was very nice as well. Everyone I talked to was nice, friendly and helpful. Iโ€™m looking forward to next years visit. I recommend great place for eye health from routine exams to more comprehensive and complex exams.

The annual examination is very thorough and well-explained. Dr. Hudson takes the time to describe the results in detail and to discuss future steps if necessary. I always feel well-served by my visits and at age 74, I still have (corrected) 20/20 vision.

Dr Hudson and his technicians and staff did a great job at my annual eye checkup. In/out processing was fast and easy. Initial eye exam was thorough. Opthamological exam was also quick and thorough. Overall great experience.

This office runs smoothly and efficiently while treating patients with respect and dignity. Every encounter with staff was professional and friendly. (This is disappearing in medical facilities). Dr. Hudson kindly addressed my concerns with confidence.
