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.
ColonoscopyA flexible camera examines the full length of the colon to screen for cancer and remove polyps before they become cancerous. Done under sedation, it typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. The bowel prep the day before is the part most patients find hardest.Upper Endoscopy (EGD)A thin camera passed through the mouth examines the esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine. Used to investigate persistent heartburn, difficulty swallowing, unexplained bleeding, or abdominal pain. Usually takes 15 to 30 minutes under sedation.Flexible SigmoidoscopyExamines the lower portion of the colon only, rather than its full length. Preparation is lighter than a full colonoscopy and sedation is sometimes unnecessary, but it cannot detect problems higher in the colon.Capsule EndoscopyYou swallow a vitamin-sized camera that photographs the small intestine as it passes through — a region that standard scopes cannot easily reach. There is no sedation and no recovery. The capsule passes naturally, and images are reviewed after the fact.ERCPCombines endoscopy and X-ray imaging to diagnose and treat blockages in the bile and pancreatic ducts, most often gallstones stuck in a duct. Unlike a routine endoscopy, it carries a meaningful risk of pancreatitis afterward, so it is used when treatment is likely rather than for screening alone.Hemorrhoid TreatmentShrinks or removes swollen veins in the rectum and anus using rubber band ligation, injection, or surgical removal depending on severity. Banding is quick and typically requires no anesthesia; surgical removal is more effective for advanced cases but recovery is noticeably more uncomfortable.

I have been very pleased with my appointments with Dr Stewart. I didn't have to wait wait very long at all. I tested 20/20 vision and Dr Stewart applauded. I am 84 years old and I said that's pretty good for someone my age. Dr Stewart said that's pretty good for someone 65 years old. I don't have to have another appointment for one year.

I’m extremely disappointed with the eye surgeons I could’ve gotten And eye exam anywhere. I needed more help than Being told I could get glasses. I have some serious issues with my right eye in particular and ask for That to be addressed. It was shrugged off as though it didn’t matter. Because of this, I would not recommend This establishment. I will have to seek proper care elsewhere.

I had cataract surgery at Eye Surgeons of Indiana. I was told beforehand that this would be the easiest procedure I would ever have to have, and that person was right! Everything was clearly explained to me, the surgery went just as expected and my recovery was very normal. I chose to have Light Adjustable Lens put in during the surgeries. The adjustment process went so well. The best part is that I no longer need glasses or contacts to see! I had nothing but excellent care throughout the entire process. Thank you, Eye Surgeons of Indiana!!

Thanks to Eye Surgeons of Indiana, I amazingly and miraculously feel 35 years younger...like my 40 year old self when I maybe only needed readers once in a while for very fine print. Dr. Lombardo and all the wonderful human beings I encountered in Muncie with follow up in Anderson (for cataract surgery with a glaucoma stent in one eye) were the kindest professionals I could have hoped for. I am so thankful!

All of the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Each person carefully explained what was happening in the exam, what my options were, how the billing would occur and what the procedure would be like. The surgical team was especially friendly and professional at each station. I was very comfortable with my surgery and the results were spectacular! I highly recommend using the services of the Muncie Eye Center.
