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.

Everyone in this office is very nice. They are happy to see you and assist where they can. My cataract procedures were a fabulous success. I could not be happier or recommend this office more.

Medical staff was kind, respectful, knowledgeable and knew my history well. Chelsea the Tech pit me at ease so my blood pressure went down. Dr. Edgington was patient and skilled enough to hold my shaking head in position while he did laser cataract correction. Amazing staff!

This was the scariest moment ever to know I would be having eye surgery. The doctors and staff put me very, very much at ease and did an excellent job removing the cataract from my eye. Recovery was easy and fast. I even had a great followup appointment at both the clinic and at my regular optometrist visit. I would highly recommend Pacific Cataract and Laser Institute to everyone in need of such treatment.
