Procedures Performed

Common outpatient procedures performed at this ambulatory surgery center, based on reported specialties.

Ophthalmology (Eye Surgery)6
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 had cataract surgery on both eyes this past Nov/Dec at Kunesh Eye Center. Dr John and the entire staff at the Eye Center were outstanding. Everyone, I mean everyone, was polite, professional and welcoming. Any question was answered promptly and concisely. The entire process ( for both eyes), start to finish was smooth and effortless. I couldn't be happier with the result. I would highly recommend to anyone who asks me.

Dr. Kunesh is professional and friendly. He reassured me that my retinas are fine. Unfortunately, one of the staff members who examined my glasses to get the prescription scratched one of the lenses. I understand that everyone makes mistakes, but you would think that people working here would be more careful handling glasses. I bought these glasses recently. There was no scratch when I wore them into the office, but when I got home I noticed it. This is infuriating. Be more careful when handling other people's glasses!

I was referred to Kunesh Eye Center for a cataract evaluation. In one year, the site in my right eye had greatly diminished and that’s when I was introduced to Kunesh Eye Center – Dr. Mary Kunesh. The evaluation and test to determine if I was a candidate for surgery seemed like a lot, but in hindsight, when I woke up from the surgery and realized that I could actually see everything so much more bright, and beautiful, all of that faded. Dr. Mary was so kind and compassionate which helped me overcome my fear of the surgery. Thank you Kunesh Eye Center – thank you Dr. Mary Kunesh.

Dr. John Kunesh has cared for my vision and eyes since 2015 and I have developed a full sense of trust for his guidance. This year, 2024, he corrected my eyesight to 20-25 in one eye and 20-20 in the other when clearing cataracts and inserting corrective lenses. I am thrilled to be safely driving and seeing clearly in the far distances. Good work--good doctor.
