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.

Dr. Bucci's clinic is the best in the area and the best on east coast! I've been going there for 25 years. First for lasik surgery and later for cataract surgery. They are professional, knowledgeable, experienced, kind and courteous. I wouldn't trust my eyes to anyone else.

I Recently had cataract surgery and lens implant by Dr Bucci, he’s a great doctor (he also did lasik for me 20+ years ago). Dr Mariano did my follow up visits, he is also another great doctor you can trust.

I am grateful for the day, I first visited Dr Bucci‘s office. I’d always been afraid of laser ❤️ surgery but not only was it the most tranquil experience with surgery. It has been the best thing I have been able to do for vision aftercare with Dr. Mariano is great, he’s personable. He puts your mind at ease. He’s nice. I recommend Dr Bucci‘s laser vision in Wilkes barre with all my heart. Thank you.

Update: cataract removal highly successful and the follow through from Dr. Bucci's Staff outstanding. In addition, I cannot say enough about Dr. Mariano. He is the very best. Patient, professional, and knowledgeable. Extremely fortunate to be under his after care.
