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.

Dr. Dean is great! I had an emergency the day before a holiday and Hori made sure they fit me in. I've been going to Horizon for over 30 years and I wouldn't think of going anywhere else.

Everyone I came in contact with was friendly and professional. The wait was short, and the examination was efficient and smooth. Kerri at the front desk was wonderful, as she handled my insurance inquiries fast and answered all of my questions. Her smile and kindness made me feel at ease.

Great place, great service! We had our examination there and a couple weeks later, went back the optical center to get my glasses. Annett is AWESOME! She worked with me to find the right frames, got me the best deal with my insurance and was super nice to work with! 10/10! Thanks Annett!

Usually everyone in this office is professional and very kind. They answer your questions and help you understand everything happening during an appointment with patience and care. Dr. Mandell, especially, is wonderful. However, once or twice I have had to face curt and disrespectful attitudes from staff and over the phone. The billing department was very patient, kind and courteous.
