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 an incredible experience during my first visit to Harman Eye Clinic. All the staff were outstanding—friendly, welcoming, and truly professional. Dr. Michelle Nguyen stood out with her exceptional expertise and thorough approach; she made sure I felt comfortable and informed throughout my appointment. I highly recommend this clinic for anyone seeking top-notch eye care.

My entire family has done Invisalign through the Harmon eye clinic. Every single part of their staff is friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Each one of us had a wonderful experience. I would recommend them to anyone!

My elderly mom came for cataract surgery but they scratched one of her lenses (Dr. Oh said that happens sometimes, but no one told us that beforehand); if this is the case, what is the benefit of a new lens? On her second surgery Dr. Ballon ordered the anesthesiologist to give her more meds which is not appropriate for elderly with cognitive decline, I had offered to stay with her during surgery to keep her relaxed but they declined. Then immediately after surgery they released her to me. She was so out of it she couldn't even function and I couldn't get her into her house (9 steps) ~ I don't see this as a professional eye clinic. An awful and sad experience for us both.

The most complete eye exams I had ever had! Staff is great! Very concerned about safety and about my issues. Explains everything very well. Not just after $$$ unlike my last provider.
