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.

Staff at front desk very nice. My husband had cataract surgery and was taken in the back what was suppose to be approx 2 hrs. After 2 hrs. I went to desk and asked his status and was told he wasn't even taken yet...why wasn't I notified. He should go in OR shortly. Never rec'd a text or phone call regarding his status...an hr later he is wheeled into the patient waiting area..wow!!! Again, was never contacted from one staff member. Will never return to this facility again. I just heard today 12/18 from Jennifer, an Administrator at the Surgical Center of Burlington County to apologize for not updating me with my husband's status on his eye surgery. She said they were backed up and it's something that should have been communicated to me. They are going to take measures to see that family members are kept in the loop as to the status of their family member. I hope to return to this facility in the future when we need eye surgery. The staff was very nice when spoken to. Our doctor was exceptional, too! Thank you for reaching out, it has meant a lot. Thank you.

The experience with the surgical staff was wonderful. They addressed the issue and fixed problem while also dealing with massive anxiety for eye surgery. Would recommend this practice to any one in need of cataract surgery.

Great teamwork. Dr. Scimeca and his team are well organized and do excellent work. I had cataract surgery yesterday. Today, I can see without glasses for the first time in over 60 years! Thank you, Dr. Scimeca.

Had both eyes done removing cataracts with up graded lenses. Was a success, and the staff at the surgical were welcoming well staffed helpful and professional. I was referred to this Doctor by two of my Neighbors and I give my highest recommendation for this Doctor for anyone having vision problems.
