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.

My eye doctor had such a sweet "bedside manner". Very informative and positive demeanor. Gave a great prediction for my future eyesight. As far as insurance coverage and bill payment goes, I haven't gotten there yet so I can not review their process for those.

Jason was our doctor at another place before his employment with ECA Albany. He's very professional at his job and very personable. He answers any and all questions or concerns that we may have. We are very pleased.

I had the most positive experience which far exceeded my expectations! I had cataract surgery & was nervous given the fact that at 60 years old I had been wearing glasses most my life & have suffered from migraines with aura since age nine. Eyesight has always been a focus in my life and having any type of eye procedure made me very nervous. Dr Madsen and staff at Eyecare Associates was amazing! From explaining the process, to the procedure itself (top notch facility with excellent staff) and follow up was professional and caring. The most amazing thing is being able to see! At my age having vision without glasses is a true gift. I will be forever grateful to the wonderful Doctors and staff at Eyecare Associates!

Dr Knecht is very kind and personal. He asks questions to best understand how to help each person in my family as we all have different preferences. The personnel at the front desk are all friendly and helpful. Everyone is willing to answer questions and will give honest answers especially when it comes to what insurance will and won't cover so that we don't have a lot of out of pocket expenses. The new building is beautiful.

So far every procedure has been successful and painless. I appreciate the the staffs friendliness and professionalism.
