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 truly enjoy my yearly check up at San Antonio Eye Center. I trust with my eye sight health. The exam is thorough and gives me a satisfying piece of mind. Dr. Ramirez is a true professional and easy to talk to.

Dr. Franco was very informative. She took the time to explain every detail of my concerns in a manner to which I could understand. Although very professional she wanted to make sure I knew what was going on with my condition. I sincerely recommend Dr. Franco to anyone concerning their eye care.

Dr. Winter's staff was very pleasant and polite. They were happy to answer any questions and were very knowledgeable. Dr. Winters location was very conveniently located and has it's own parking lot. Dr. Winter's was prompt and took plenty of time getting all my medical background since I am a new patient. He was able to explain things and I was completely comfortable with the exam and process. Very satisfied with the Dr. and all his staff. 5 🌟
