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.

Once my cataract surgery was complete, I was horribly awakened from my anesthesia sleep by the violent ripping off of the surgical tapes around my eye which left black and blue painful bruises under my operated eye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The surgery wasn't bad at all. But I am not happy at all. If I had it to do over again I would have just had my cataracts removed and left it at that. I am not happy with my new lenses. They move around inside my eye. And I have a line down almost the middle of my eye. I went back to the Dr's office in leitchfield and they said it is normal. If this is normal id rather go back to the way i was. I really can't see all that much better and still have to use glasses. So what's the point. They get their money and leave me unhappy. Don't do it!!!

The staff was so kind when they had to cancel my surgery last minute due to the sterilizer not working properly. Safety first! Always appreciate the effort of those in the healthcare industry who make sure their patients are happy and healthy!

Don't plan on being a priority, as a teacher and the new school year starting, canceling a surgery day less than 24 hours out will now force me to miss days with my students. This a terrible way to do business.
