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.

It was organized and everyone was nice. The waiting room was overcrowded with people sitting with patients or were waiting for patients to come out. Many patients had to stand. It should be for patients only. The drivers or support people should be waiting outside.

If you are elderly with mobility issues, this is NOT the facility for you. My mother needed assistance with walking which was discussed multiple times and I was assured she would be provided the assistance. While she waited for her cataract surgery she needed to use the restroom and asked a nurse. She was told this facility is not a nursing home. Then I was called to the surgical waiting area upstairs in case she needed the restroom again. I asked to speak with the very rude nurse, Gabby, who admitted she told my mother this is not a nursing home. First off, don't ever speak to a patient that way. That is uncalled for. If using the restroom was a problem for staff, I should have been told that from the beginning and I would have made sure I was there to take my mother. Second, I asked to speak with a manager who double talked me with a vague apology. Again, not necessary. We will never use this facility again, and I will make sure I do not recommend it to anyone.

While the wait is long, it is worth it. The doctors are excellent, I have Dr. Martin from SightMD, also phenomenal, and the staff friendly and professional. Bridgette especially is professional, friendly, kind and compassionate. She is knowledgeable and compassionate, sitting with patients and helping them feel at ease. I would highly recommend LIASC. Just remember to be prepared to wait.
