Laser vision correction... Which procedure is right for me... ask the lasik experts at North Shore eye care

Laser vision correction has been very popular over the last 10 years. The laser eye surgery procedure has advanced in technology and safety and has made bladeless custom lasik a very sought after vision correction procedure at North Shore Eye Care in Smithtown New York in Long island. When is comes to laser vision correction, many patients ask our board certified lasik doctors and lasik surgeons, Dr. Jeffrey Martin, Dr. Larry Zweibel and Dr. John Mauro, which laser eye surgery is best for them. This questioned is answered at our Suffolk County Long Island office in a free lasik evaluation that our eye doctors and eye surgeon give rountinely. In a lasik evaluation, we measure your eye prescription, do a general eye exam, do corneal topography and corneal pachymetry. This gives us information on corneal shape and corneal thickness as well as eye health that helps to determine if you are a good candidate or not. If your corneal thickness and shape are perfect, we usually recommend bladeless custom lasik or ilasik. This procedure uses blade free Intralase to make the thinnest, most precise and safest flap possible. We then use Visx Customvue with waveprint or wavemap to do a truly customized ablation for each patient. This type of laser eye surgery automatically tracks and automatically centers as well as uses iris registration. For those patients with a thin cornea, irregular cornea, high prescription or even a moderately dry eye, we often recomment custom surface ablation which means, prk, epilasik, or lasek. With these laser eye surgery procedures, the final visual result is the same, but healing takes a few days longer and discomfort can certainly last longer. For their efforts, Dr. Jeff Martin and Dr. Larry Zweibel have been voted Top Doctors in the New York Metro Area by Castle Connolly ltd.
