We evaluate patients of all ages, from infants to seniors, with children requiring surgery referred to a sub-specialist. Most outpatient surgeries and procedures are covered by most major insurance plans. We recommend you contact your insurance plan carrier to confirm benefits.
Inpatient Care
Though the vast majority of our surgeries are outpatient procedures, some individuals may need inpatient care. We perform emergency glaucoma laser surgery and emergency/trauma treatment at Southwest General Hospital.
Patients struggling with neurologic conditions that affect their vision will also enjoy the convenient benefit of having a world-class neurology team on campus at Southwest General Hospital. We also partner with the Diabetes Care and Wound Care departments to ensure patients get comprehensive treatment for all their vision-related issues.

At Southwest General Hospital, a board-certified ophthalmologist is always available to respond to emergency cases. Automobile accidents, toxic chemical contact, work-related injuries, and other emergencies may require specialty eye care and surgery.
