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.

Appointments are made far into the future. They are too busy for the size of the practice and they need to add more doctors. (Several doctors have or are about to retire.) Once you are at your appointment, the doctor (at least the one I saw) was knowledgeable and helpful, but he has since retired. I wear “hard” contact lenses and now there is nobody there who can prescribe them. I will have to find someone else.

I was given an appointment for today, 12/9/25 at my last year's appointment. I got off work in Charlotte at 2 pm for this 3:30 appointment as it's an hour drive. After arriving at 3 pm, the lady told me she didn't have an appointment for me. I had my appointment card with me but before I could show it to her, she stated it looks like we tried to call you in July to reschedule you. What???? You're going to call me in July to reschedule a December appointment??? Of course I've received no call, email or voicemail concerning the matter. I've been a patient here for 6 years (since my cataract surgery), but no more. She told me she could get me in December 23rd. I said forget it, I'll go elsewhere. This place has gotten too big. It's bigger than they can provide decent service for. They just want to herd people through like cattle.

I just had the worst experience with calling this office to see if I can make an appointment. At first the woman that answered was fine, but when she found out they could take my insurance that when she was asking about my specific condition and saying the doctors don't have availability until next May(2026)! She kept saying she had to know what condition it is in order to schedule me and would not setup an appointment. I gave an answer in order to setup for the appointment but she pressed me about the condition and I refused to tell her and asked why she needed to know what eye condition I have when she is NOT a medical professional. The website showed this location had a lot of doctors. I felt like the woman was discriminating because of my insurance and lying about the availability of the doctors and gave horrible customer service. Goes to show not all business appreciate or even want new customers! Looking at the reviews they are not super liked in Shelby NC.

I would give just 1 star, but Callie in Contacts is an amazing person and is the only reason I give this company 3 stars. The doctors do not care when they will see you as a patient. I have had a horrible experience with this office at no fault to the employees. The doctors kept canceling my appointments and then would say they could not get us in for 4 more months. Sad business practice!!!

Since you waited about a month to have your eye examed and now here you are waiting again, so it shouldn't be a big deal!! But this is where I took one star out. When you are there in the lobby-- with mask, it is often hot, and feels like all of us are just left-out folks, very uncomfortable feeling. For senior citizens please provide comfortable chairs and put a cooler with water bottles and a fan please. We promise you, we'll only drink when we are thirsty and hot. How about a few flowers to test our eye's color vision? Make lobby a lobby and send someone here and there, (is everything ok?) Doctor was awesome. Wonderful. That's why she goes there. If public is your customers please take care of them.
