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.

Procedure list is based on CMS-reported specialty designations. Contact the facility to confirm specific procedures offered.

I had a wonderful experience at Utah Eye Center for my pterygium and cataract surgeries. Dr Griffin and his staff were kind, professional, and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. The procedure was smooth and my vision has improved tremendously. I’m so grateful for their excellent care!

I would like to share my experience with Dr. Griffin and his entire staff for cataract surgery and one other procedure as well. I have known for a number of years that I had cataracts, but my optometrists had always said they weren't bad, so if I wasn't in a hurry, there was no rush. This year was different, though, and Dr. Tuttle, my optometrist came across as saying, it's time now, so what do you want to do? To make a long story shorter, Dr. Griffin was the chosen provider for this service, as well as one other procedure. My first cataract surgery was September 12, followed by a pterygium excision on September 23. Finally, on December 9, I was able to have the second cataract surgery. Each of the procedures went very smoothly with no complications, and my eyes have continued to heal well after each surgery. I am happy with the results, and so is my optometrist, as well as my retinal specialist! I'd say those things alone constitute a firm recommendation. But the other half of the story is every bit as important. Dr. Griffin and everyone on his staff were outstanding in terms of communication, warmth, compassion, understanding, and encouragement. It's no exaggeration to say I genuinely love these people, and I feel truly blessed to have been under their care. God bless each one of them!

This is a top-quality organization. From the beginning of testing and consultation to completion of my cataract removal and lens replacement, everything ran smoothly and professionally. The surgery itself was quick and painless, with everything clearly explained step by step. The staff is super friendly and Dr Griffin is truly world class.
