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.

The staff was excellent from the moment I walked in and was greeted by the secretary to receiving instructions for my upcoming surgery from staff members. Everyone was very professional. Great experience.

My husband is a patient with Dr. Harkins at Oregon Trail Eye Center. He has always received excellent, professional care. Every staff member has been courteous and kind. They have been very helpful with scheduling appointments to accommodate the fact that we have to travel an hour and a half.

The office and surgery center are absolutely amazing. All employees I had contact with were outstanding, They explained the preop procedures day of surgery, no wondering about what they were doing. Dr. Smedley is so kind and friendly. He explained to me throughout surgery what to expect. I had my second eye done today, the first one 2 weeks ago it was 20/20 the next week. Oregon Trail Eye Center should be everyone 1st choice of care, I can’t say enough good. They gave me my sight back what a gift. Thanks to All Karen S

Everything is very well organized in the office. It's a smooth operation. The nurses are friendly, and I felt cared for. Dr. Collier does a wonderful job of explaining everything. I thought it would be terrible, and it wasn't at all. Except the lobby music. That's dreadful. 😅

Staff and Dr. Harkins are very kind and caring. They do a great job of listening to your concerns and helping to find a solution while keeping you informed on what is going on around you and with your vision. Dr. Harkins is very knowledgeable and takes time to listen as well as see what the problem is. Dr. Harkins has a great bedside manner and is very understanding with great follow through. He keeps the family updated and well informed.
