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.

My appointment was at 2:30, did not get called back until about 3. Then sat in the exam room with my eyes dilated and without my glasses until 4:15. Then had an exam that took less than ten minutes and was sent on my way. While the staff was polite (and the Dr. apologized when she did finally come in) I didn’t appreciate being left to sit for an hour while I could hear the staff at the hub outside the exam room socializing and joking around. They need to check in and let patients know they haven’t forgotten them when things are running late. I understand things don’t always run exactly on time but this wait was excessive when I’d already been dilated (which gave me a migraine to boot) and without any updates when the staff clearly had time to socialize with each other.

I was impressed with the shorter amount of time I spent on this eye appointment. It was a pleasant surprise. I felt that everything was thorough and I was out in quick time.

Dr Jackson is always amazing and I looked forward to seeing her every time! She makes it fun and answers all my questions. It was my first time visiting the Dodge st location because I usually go to La vista. Aria one of the staff who started my visit was so kind and knowledgeable! It was a great experience overall!

Loved Dr. Greder. Been seeing him for decades. However, their billing department isn't so great. Husband asked over the phone for the same exam he's had for years. Front desk gave him a medical form instead of a routine exam form, and he signed it, thinking it was the same one from before. Now they're claiming he requested the medical, even though his exam was the normal one he's always had. Should have known better when they asked for the primary insurance card. Won't be going back. Edited to add: canned response is insincere, since I've found reviews for this same issue, and yet, here we are with them still doing it

This was an incredible experience. This was my first time to an eye doctor as an adult, so I don’t have much to compare it to, but the person who assisted the doctor and the lady who helped me with my glasses, were both incredibly professional and warm and welcoming. I felt completely comfortable. The doctor was great also very friendly and helpful. And the speed of the service was excellent. There was no long waiting periods, but I didn’t feel rushed either. The lady at the front desk who checked me in was slightly condescending and appeared to hate her job, but honestly, I don’t blame her I guess. As someone who knows nothing about eye care I wish I would’ve known that having dilated eyes was going to make me feel wasted, but now I know for the future. I purchased eyeglasses through them as well, and although I haven’t received them yet, but the lady who helped me make my purchase was so great that I left knowing that I made the right choice. I would highly recommend this place to anybody looking for an eye doctor.
