WAUPUN — SSM Health Eye Care services is celebrating its first anniversary.
“We are pleased with our first year of service,” Shane Smith, vice president of Medical Group Operations for the SSM Health Fond du Lac Regional Clinic, said. “It has been important to us to offer quality eye care services in Waupun, including skilled and dedicated physicians and staff, as well as having the convenience of hospital services for cataract surgeries and other care.”
The 5,400-square-foot area on the lower level of SSM Health Waupun Memorial Hospital’s two-story addition offers the services of an ophthalmologist, optometrist and eye care assistants using advanced diagnostic capabilities.
Plans are underway to introduce the services of a retina specialist and pediatric ophthalmologist.
The clinic space features eight exam rooms, a laser/procedure room, an optical coherence tomography scan (OCT) room, three provider offices and a contact lens room.
The clinic also features an optical shop offering a wide selection of frames.
Plans are also underway to introduce a new service — intravitreal injections, which are used to administer medications to treat a variety of retinal conditions.
