The History of the Valley Eye Surgery Center, LLC

Dr. Taft was awarded the “Certificate of Need” (CON) in 1997 to construct an Ambulatory Surgery Center.

Valley Surgery Center, LLC opened on December 22, 1999 to provide eye surgery for all patients of North Alabama, and the surrounding states.  Using the latest technology, Dr. Taft believes that we should serve others out of love and thanksgiving to God.  Valley Surgery Center’s Vision, Mission, and Goals are clearly stated and are in direct alignment with our motto:

“In GOD we trust, therefore, we serve in the perpetual light of love”

Dr. Taft performs Cool Cataract Surgery using WHITESTAR Cold Phaco Technology.   Along with this technology Dr. Taft offers special lens such as:

  • Standard Monofocal IOL…the monofocal is a fixed lens, it doesn’t move and is designed to deliver improved vision at just one distance, usually far.
  • Multifocal IOL…a multifocal lens uses multiple visual zones that are built into the lens itself to provide vision at various distances.
  • Accommodating IOL…flexes or accommodates to focus on subjects at various distances, delivering a continuous range of vision; near, intermediate and far.

The ReZoom Multifocal Lens is based on over 20 years of advancements in lens optics used in the treatment of cataracts and can be implanted during a brief 15 to 45 minute outpatient procedure with little to no downtime in most cases. The ReZoom Multifocal Lens provides a full range of vision with freedom from glasses in most situations.

Crystalens is the one and only FDA approved accommodating lens available in the United States. More than twice the number of patients implanted with crystalens could see at all distances compared to a standard IOL.

In 2004 Dr. Taft brought the Bausch & Lomb Zyoptix personalized laser vision correction system to Valley Surgery Center.  This procedure can do more than improve your vision; it can enhance your life. You'll be able to play sports with greater ease. Enjoy social and athletic activities with greater confidence. All thanks to your Zyoptix procedure.

The Bausch & Lomb Zyoptix system has been used by eye doctors worldwide in over 100,000 procedures. The U.S. clinical trial showed that six months after surgery the vast majority of patients treated with the Zyoptix system achieved or reported the following:

  • “Extreme” improvement in quality of vision.
  • Vision better than 20/20 without glasses.
  • Vision without glasses after surgery as good as, or even better than, with glasses before surgery.
  • No increase in unwanted glare, halos or night driving difficulty.
  • High satisfaction with their results.
  • They would choose the procedure again.

In addition to the above Dr. Taft does many other types of eye surgeries at Valley Surgery Center.
