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.

Clarksville Ophthalmology, Dr Gannaway is a great ophthalmologist, he makes you feel important, always courteous, professional and a great surgeon. I had my first eye cataract surgery yesterday. I never felt any pain or discomfort. The whole staff at Clarksville Ophthalmology and the Clarksville Eye Surgery Center have such great personalities, courteous and professional to work with. Everyone takes their time to explain things clearly, so you understand and presents it to you in writing. Also, Joe the anesthesiologist knows how to make you feel comfortable, and confident in him. I love the background music they play in the office, relaxing, helps with a great attitude. Thank you I had my second eye cataract surgery, it went as perfect as the first. Dr Gannaway and staff are great.

My mother just got screwed over because someone at the front desk does not know how to read an insurance card. If you can not do your job correctly then move out so that someone else can do it. Now you have put more stress on my mother who doesn't need it! I feel like you should be paying the bill on this visit. Oh and while you are at it, post the payment that she already made unless you put it in your pocket. One bad seed and make your whole company look like crap! FIX IT!
