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.

Right eye cataract surgery was excellently performed. It was my best Christmas present ever. A mountain gratitude to Dr Moss, Kiersten and the entire McCannel eye clinic staff.

From a surgery standpoint, excellent! I was very pleased with Dr. David Patterson and surgery results. His advance and follow up communication was very good. Surgery was painless. I’m enjoying my new eyesight.

I had a laser procedure on my left eye to clear the membrane behind the eye lens. Dr. Afiat, my surgeon, did the procedure. Everything went perfectly and the overall experience was very pleasing due to the attention and professionalism of all the people involved in the process. I feel very lucky to have the McCannel Eye Clinic taking care of my vision problems. Thank you.

I’m lucky to have been a patient since Dr McCannel was practicing at the Medical Arts in downtown Minneapolis. I always feel like I’m walking into an art gallery at the Edina location. The doctors continue to be top notch and personable. Dr Moss explained the procedure fully and called to check on me that night. Very nice man with equally compassionate medical support personnel. From my first prescription glasses to my recent cataract surgery, I continue to feel confident in the expertise of McCannel Eye Clinic and McCannel Eye Surgery.

Second cataract surgery yesterday. So comfortable and easy. Dr. Sanderson and his surgery team are excellent. In and out very quickly, and went straight out to lunch with my husband on the way home. (You will need a driver, however!). Why put it off or worry? It’s so easy and doesn’t hurt at all!
