When it comes to laser vision correction and laser eye surgery, there are many excellent questions that patients often need answered prior to having the ilasik bladeless custom lasik procedure done. Our board certified lasik doctors and lasik surgeons, Dr. Jeffrey Martin, Dr. Lawrence Zweibel, and Dr. John Mauro, feel strongly about answering all of your questions prior to the laser eye surgery date so that every patient feels comfortable and confident about ilasik. Dr. Martin and Dr. Zweibel have been selected in Top Doctors in the New York Metro Area for years due to their expertise and professionalism in the areas of cataract surgery and laser vision correction.

Dry eye is a very prevalent problem in our community and in the world. Although it seems simple, a dry ocular surface can be very difficult in regard to best corrected vision and comfort. Dry eye causes transiently blurred vision, red eye, eye pain, burning and stinging among other symptoms. Many post menopausal women have dry eye, but also, medications such as blood pressure medications and antidepressants can also cause dry eye. In the setting of dry eye, having lasik can make that dry eye worse, at least temporarily. We treat dry eye aggressively in the setting of eye surgery and lasik. With some of the treatments we have for dry eye, the recovery from bladeless custom lasik in our Smithtown New York Long Island region can be easier. Also, using the best in technique, such as all bladeless lasik with Intralase and Customvue smoother custom ablations seem to make dry eye symptoms less significant after the procedure. We also make smaller flaps these days which interrupts less of the ocular surface nerve supply causing less dry eye. With current techniques and treatment for dry eye, Dr. Jeff Martin, Dr. John Mauro and Dr. Larry Zweibel are able to do lasik vision correction on most people with comfortable and excellent results.
