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.

Nursing staff were so very reassuring and kind. I was very nervous but they alleviated my fears and anxiety. I had cataract surgery that was virtually painless and already my sight is clearer.

Everyone was friendly and helpful. All questions were answered and Dr. Psolka explained everything as the surgery progressed. It all took about 15-20 minutes to complete. Just before the surgery, the doctor asked what kind of music I liked. Didn't expect it, but I told him ACDC. He asked what album, I told him and got to listen to it while the Dirty Deed was done. I would highly recommend Northwest Eye Surgeons in Sequim. I will be going back shortly to have the second eye done. Update: Had the second eye done and just as amazing as the first. Can't say enough about the staff. Pre-op, surgery and post-op, staff was great.

My Husband and I have been patients here for 12 years and always felt good about the quality of our care there. Professional, knowledgable Doctors and techs, and a pleasant cohesive staff. That's changed drastically. They have gotten to a point where they no longer act like they care a bit about their patients. You cannot reach a single person by phone at this location The booking of an appointment via their off shore "call center" is an exercise in complete frustration and so much more. Local office manager tells me there is nothing that can be done with the call center nor can I come into the office and directly book our appointments .We're finished.

From cataract surgery consultation, to the surgeries, to the post-op appointments, I was treated with kindness and respect in the Sequim center. All lens options with costs were discussed. I so appreciate that my questions were answered patiently, and my anxiety was never minimized. On both surgery days, the team did everything to calm me down and make sure that I was comfortable. Dr. Psolka kindly checked in with me while the caring team of nurses took vitals and got me situated. The actual procedures took, maybe 5 minutes, and were virtually painless. The post-op care directions were very clear. I'm the biggest wimp when it comes to anything medical, so if I can handle it, anyone can! Now, I simply can't believe how crazy beautiful the world looks with new lenses! If you have cataracts that interfere with your vision, get a referral to Northwest Eye Surgeons. The consultation is very thorough without any pressure to make a decision until you're ready.
