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.

Dr. Pacholka at SOMC Surgical Associates was my surgeon in October 2024. He is by the far best physician I have ever worked with. Very friendly and smart.

God forbid you need help from your doctor from noon Friday to 8am Monday...because ALL the offices are closed and the ER/Urgent Care won't help you, they tell you to see your surgeon that you spoke to his office early Friday morning and they never called you back before they left! 😡

Without Dr Khoury and the wonderful people who work with him I would not be here. They're responsive to my needs. Friendly folks who treat you like you're valuable. Even when I was wrong they had patience with me and gave me time to think about it and decide for myself. Now I do exactly what Dr Khoury says to do. He's a life saver. I recommend Somc Surgical Associates to everyone.

Only thing that is a problem with me is the wait time, with a small waiting room. But if you're good at what you do everyone wants to go there. Dr. Khoury removed 2/3 of my right lung due to cancer August 27, 2014. I didn't need chemotherapy or radiation. Now I'm riding my motorcycle and backpacking. And that was also the last day I smoke cigarettes.
