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.

Excellent Customer Services accross the staff, from the front desk to the Dr. office. I have been a patient for many years and got my annual exam yearly. I’d definitely refer anyone I care about to Shepherd Eye Center.

I am a new patient at Shepherds Eye and was impressed with the efficiency of the office team. This is the first time at an ophthalmologist where I didn’t have to wait a long time in between dilation. Dr Alder was also prompt, friendly, knowledgeable, and I felt he was skilled and I’m glad he’s my doctor. I highly recommend this practice.

Shepherd Eye Center really puts the 'HERD' in Shepherd. There were so many patients packed in the waiting room, it felt like an assembly line. One of the employees stood out, and was exemplary with her care & treatment. She checked the pressures in my eyes & gave a vision check before the Dr. came into see me. Her name was Vivian, & she deserves the 5 stars I'm giving today. She was friendly, efficient, & kind, & made me feel like I wasn't just a faceless # in the machine. Thank-you, Vivian! You alleviated my stress, & I was relaxed when I left there, because of your good energy!

Dr. Stevens was great. Extremely thorough in explaining my results and procedures going forward. The assistants in between doing the testing were patient, looking for accurate results. Thank you!! No wait period either. Very organized. I have definitely chosen them to perform my cataract surgery as well.
