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.

Can’t say enough good things about this eye center. I had cataract surgery in both eyes in January and February 2026. The surgeon Dr. Davis and the whole staff were absolutely amazing. I want to thank them all for the wonderful care I received and for my vision improved so much.

The wait is long for appts. Today boyfriend had cataract surgery. They said 2n half hours,so I was going to just go home. The nurse with a attitude said no u have to wait. I explained my situation they didnt care even when we got here I was going to stay in waiting room by door n was still told no because I just got of hospital myself. Then came the big thing ,was when another pati patient there coffee n donuts in the waiting room by door.

I always arrive promptly on time for my appointment and wait 30-45 minutes to be seen. Additionally, their billing system is antiquated and you need to call in to provide a credit card or send in a check in the snail mail. Didn’t know it was 1990. Unacceptable in the digital age.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. Yes, you will have to wait longer, but in my opinion the care is absolutely worth it. I have already had three surgeries here. After a heavy concern in my change of vision, I was recommended to go here. Turns out, I have retinal detachment issues and retinopathy. Two retinal reattachment surgeries, one cataract and a YAG cap surgery so far and they are incredibly great at what they do. Dr. Thierry Verstraeten was amazing, great bedside manner and helped with every little concern I had. Informative, to the point, and very friendly. It makes sense why they have such long wait times, it's because of how good they are. Really great specialists here.

Would not rec going to Southwestern PA Eye Center with Pieramici. I decided to go here because my whole family goes here and they are statistically low when it comes to under correcting eyes for lasik. Anyways, my eyes were highly under corrected by -1.00. The day of the procedure, nurses had to numb my eyes twice before the procedure started because they were waiting on the MD. Pretty sure I felt more than I was suppose to. I can't drive at night because the glare in the road is too bad, now have dry eye and light sensitivity. It feels like there is sand in my eyes if I don't use the drops. My last follow up appt, he cancelled, again. When it was rescheduled, I was seen by a MD I've never met before. Had to get glasses to drive at night and my prescription eye drops are $90. More harm to my eyes was actually caused by this procedure. The office didn't offer to pay for glasses or drops or even offer an apology. However, they did say that my eyes were way UNDER CORRECTED.
