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.

I accompanied a family member for a scheduled 2:00 PM procedure at LI Eye Surgical Center. We waited over two hours past the scheduled time. I asked three different times for an update and was repeatedly told she was “next,” yet five other patients were taken ahead of her for the same doctor. The situation was especially concerning because the patient had not eaten since midnight, as instructed by the facility. When I asked to speak with the lead nurse, Geralyn, to address this valid medical concern, I was met with disregard and a dismissive attitude, rather than empathy or a clear explanation. Despite repeated reassurances, the patient was not brought in until 3:45 PM, nearly two hours after the scheduled procedure time. The lack of honest communication and the way patient concerns were handled made an already stressful situation significantly worse. On a brighter note, the office manager and her team were wonderful. Kelly and the registration and check-in desk staff could not have been any nicer. They were kind, professional, and did their best to be helpful throughout a very frustrating wait, and they truly deserve recognition. Delays may happen, but better communication and compassion—especially regarding fasting patients—are essential

So frustrating!!!! My husband’s surgery was scheduled for 2pm. He was not allowed to eat all day before surgery. We waited over 3 hours in the waiting room before anyone came to see him. He did not have surgery until almost 6pm.— 4 hours later than initially told. I see this is a common complaint from other patients. They have no concern about people’s time.

I just had a eyelid surgery in this surgery center, I admit I am the worst patient but everyone was extremely professional and patient trying to make me as comfortable as possible in the circumstances The place was clean Plenty of available parking, And if I have to have a procedure in the future this would be the place I choose. I wish I could say thank you to all those who helped me through this very unsettling time.

We have been here twice, this place was just wonderful. The staff are kind, professional and fast and answered all our questions. The discharge process was kind and easy. The reviews about insurance seem misplaced, they were always clear and upfront about costs.
