(Waupun) SSM Health’s new eye care services in Waupun is opening Monday. The 5,400-square-foot facility is located on the lower level of SSM Health Waupun Memorial Hospital’s recent two-story addition with parking available just off Main and Beaver Dam streets.
The $4.2-million-dollar project will offer the services of an ophthalmologist, two optometrists, and five eye care assistants using advanced diagnostic capabilities. The services of a retina specialist and a pediatric ophthalmologist will also be available. SSM Health officials say patients will have the convenience of receiving eye surgical procedures, like cataract surgery, within the hospital thanks to its direct connection.
The new area features eight exam rooms, a laser/procedure room, an optical coherence tomography scan room, three provider offices, and a contact lens room. There is also an optical shop on site.
