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.

Kema was amazing !! she was very helpful and gave honest options on glasses styles and how they looked. She offered all options that would best fit my needs. I highly recommend her and her friendly and professional manner. Peninsula Eye Center is lucky to have her on their team and staff.

I had the pleasure of working with Yolanda on my recent visit to purchase new glasses. She was friendly and professional. After letting me look for frames on my own for a few minutes, she came and helped me find additional choices. She was a huge help and we found the perfect pair. When I thanked her for her help at the end of our transaction, she said, "I like to givemy patients the kind of service I'd like my mother and family to receive " You really can't ask for better than that. Great experience.

My wife and I have been going to Peninsula Eye Center for years. The care is good the scheduling office is terrible. WE travel 50 miles to get to the office; one time we arrived for our “confirmed” appointments and were told we were “not on the schedule”. Now they are closing one of their locations and not properly notifying and seem to be unable to cope with the rescheduling. They treat you like it’s your fault and are both rude and condescending. It’s very disappointing to be treated like you’re a problem. The practice is overcrowded and the front desk schedulers are impolite and incompetent. Just a shame that good doctors can’t manage their office better.

I have been going to Peninsula Eye Center for 20 years. I have never been treated so poorly, or received such poor service in all that time as I have within the last 2 months. They don't answer the phone, they don't call you back, and when you go in there and confront them they lie right to your face and say they've called when they really haven't. I had to warranty some lenses in my glasses three weeks ago and I still do not have replacement lenses. Basically everyone has retired that I knew that worked in there. I totally understand why they did that now. Literally go to any other establishment. I would give zero Stars if I could.
