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.

I have a very long history of serious/weird eye issues that began with a fall more than 1/4 century ago. I was impressed that Dr. Medert had read my history and understood the complications. He discussed with me some options; thankfully, he also sent me home with papers that illustrated those options quite clearly. He discussed with me the POSSIBILITY of eye surgery; when I expressed possible interest in that, he referred me to the surgeon. I was very pleased that he spoke of pluses and minuses of various options, rather than saying something like. “I know it all; do when I say.”

I visited Dr. Medert at Austin Eye on 1/29/26. It wasn’t my first visit with him, but my third. Each visit I had a different issue. Dr. Medert figured out each time what was going on. I am grateful for him and all of the Staff at Austin Eye. They are kind, courteous knowledgeable and caring. They all love their roles in helping others and it shows! Don’t hesitate to reach out to get answers to what’s going on with your eyes. Dr. Medert will know, or he will take the time needed to figure it out!

She was the best eye doctor I have ever gone to. She was clear and easy to understand with her test results and answered any questions I had. I will always go to her and my husband feels the same way. Outstanding facility, technicians and doctor! Thanks for being so personable and professional!

When choosing my Doctor for Cataract surgery I did my homework, looked up the reviews, asked the questions of the doctor that helped me decide Dr. Wong had the kind of expertise I was looking for in a Doctor who was going to change my eyesight for the rest of my life. I’m very, very happy with the results after only one month since my surgery. The doctors and the staff are extremely friendly, competent and knowledgeable. They easily took the time to answered all my questions and NEVER made me feel like I was being dismissed or ignored. Everyone who works here seems very happy and that translates to a pleasant experience for patients like me.
