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.

I have eye injections in both eyes by Dr. Ajay Singh. I will not go to a different Ophthalmologist for eye injections. Dr. Singh is amazing at what he does.

This appt was for one of a series of injections ... I was late due to automobile problems but was still seen in the timely and efficient manner that I usually experience. My only negative was the weather - it's SO hot - and the doctor and staff couldn't have changed that.

Retina specialist and he is a medical doctor as well. There are not that many of them around. He came more than highly recommended. This retina specialist doctor came highly dedicated. He worked me in and my surgery is done at 9:30 p.m. . He had a busy schedule completely full. But you cannot wait for certain items you have to have it done immediately hear it so if you ever see what it looks like a black shade coming over one of your eyes you better call him. I drove several hours to get to him. I rode with somebody else actually . I'm at other people there he drove maybe not as far as me but even three and four hours just to get to him. And one man he was there and he was trying to have surgeries to fix with the other doctor at another place messed up Eric always started out like me but he went to the wrong doctor. The whole staff magnificent! My first surgery was around 6:00 in the morning. Then I had to have a follow-up and that was 9:30 at night when I was recuperating. And still another one but it can wait for a little while. So this retina detachment is not something to mess around with and often takes multiple surgeries. I will tell you it is not the most comfortable thing to be doing especially when you're conscious. But they got the job done. Now don't want to go through this again with my other eye but this is more common than people realize. If they need a rose I would go back again to the same doctor. They have other specialist as well.
