North Shore Eye Care was founded by Dr. Sidney Martin in 1962 in Smithtown New York in Long Island.  As a board certified eye doctor and eye surgeon, he opened his eye care practice to care for patients with cataracts, macular degeneration, diabetes and diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, dry eye, and lid problems.  He built the practice based on the principles of commitment to excellence in eye care and eye surgery.  Today, North Shore Eye Care is located in Suffolk County of Long Island and includes three more board certified cataract and lasik surgeons, Dr. Jeffrey Martin, Dr. Larry Zweibel, and Dr. John Mauro.  All of our eye doctors are committed to the very best in cataract surgery and lasik laser eye surgery.  Dr. Martin and Dr. Zweibel have been voted as Top Doctors in the New York Metro Area by Castle Connolly ltd and North Shore Eye Care has been deemed a Crystalens National Center of Excellence by Bausch and Lomb.   The cost of cataract surg

Lasik surgery has acheived new levels of success with most patients achieving 20l20 vision often exceeding the vision they had wearing their best correction either with glasses or contact lenses.  This is due largely to the advances in lasik, coined ILasik.  Perhaps one of the most important of the innovations is known as customvue which offers a unique and individualized way of analyzing and treating the correction that each eye requires.  Using space age technology such as what was used with the Hubble telescope that took such remarkable pictures in deep space, light rays reflected from the eye are analyzed and then treated using fine laser spots that reshape the cornea of the eye. This is all done under a flap that allows for extremely fast healing, so fast in fact, that most people see 20/20 or better the very next morning. So come to North Shore Eye care located in Smithtown, Long Island where the laser experts  will be happy
