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.

I don’t know why but I’m shocked that I had such an amazing experience at Regional Eye Center! It seems like it’s hard to find kind, caring service these days. From the moment I walked in until the moment I left, everyone was so amazing. I really had such a great experience! Thank you for priding your business on treating patience with such good care.

All I wanted was a little shade while I was waiting for my mother to finish with her appointment. These people are heartless! They came out and open all the blinds back up and said we need to keep them open. I told them I have sun sensitivity and am on blood pressure meds that make the sun shining through very hard on my eyes! Now I have to sit in the dark room with my mom and can't do my crossword puzzle cause they insisted!!! These people suck!!!!

Doctor Sherrod and his staff are wonderful. They were always very courteous, attentive, and caring. They always treated me as if I were important to them and I noticed they treated their other patients the same way even those who were less than polite and courteous to them. I would be very glad to refer them to my friends and family.
