What are the benefits of having eye surgery at an ambulatory surgery center?
Patients benefit from a comfortable, convenient setting, shorter wait times, personalized care, lower costs compared to many hospital procedures, and a dedicated team focused on outpatient surgical excellence.
How long does cataract surgery take?
Cataract surgery is typically completed in about 15–30 minutes, although you should expect to spend a few hours at the surgery center for preparation and recovery.
Will I be awake during my procedure?
Most eye surgeries are performed using local anesthesia with mild sedation. You will be relaxed and comfortable while remaining awake during the procedure.
Will I need someone to drive me home?
Yes. Because sedation is often used, you will need a responsible adult to drive you home after your procedure.
How long is the recovery after eye surgery?
Recovery varies depending on the procedure, but many patients notice improved vision within a few days after cataract surgery. Your surgeon will provide detailed recovery instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing.
What should I do to prepare for my eye surgery?
Your surgeon will provide personalized pre-operative instructions. These may include adjusting certain medications, avoiding food or drink before surgery, arranging transportation, and using prescribed eye drops.
Will my insurance cover my eye surgery?
Many medically necessary ophthalmology procedures, including cataract surgery and glaucoma treatment, are covered by Medicare and most insurance plans. Our team can help verify your coverage before your procedure.
How do I know if I need eye surgery?
If you’re experiencing blurred vision, difficulty seeing at night, increased eye pressure, vision loss, drooping eyelids, or other changes in your eyesight, an ophthalmologist can evaluate your condition and determine whether surgery is the right treatment.
