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.

I had a great experience. Dr. Keenum and his team made me feel very comfortable. They were amazing at explaining everything they were doing and what to expect with each step before, during and after surgery. I was very pleased with his work and how my eye lids turned out. I would definitely recommend him to anyone that wanted a lid lift done.

It is a beautiful, spacious check in area. Very friendly lady at check in. The lady who initially does the eye tests was very thorough and explained everything she was doing. Time went quickly and we had a few laughs. Professional but allowed some fun banter. Then the doctor and nurse came in and explained the options. Answered all my questions. I never once felt rushed like he didn't have enough time and had to move on. Very patient. Good sense of humor to. I would recommend this office to anyone who asked about my experience. They are good people!

Dr. Kramer was very easy to talk to and listened to my concerns and my opinions. He was great with explaining things and I felt he understood what I needed. He gave me advice instead of pushing me into anything. He explained each step of the lasik process and always checked to ensure I understood or if I had questions. Great experience and best decision of my life. I would highly recommend!

The Vance Thompson Vision Center was unbelievably great. Dr. Thompson is a very knowledgeable and friendly surgeon. He explained everything that my husband’s cataract surgery would involve. The staff was so very friendly. Dr.Rasmussen also saw my husband & was really helpful with selecting the best treatment for him. He is very friendly and knowledgeable also. Very impressed with the care given to us. A great experience and we’re happy with the results.
