Cataract surgery in the post lasik patient... ask the cataract experts at North Shore Eye Care

Laser vision correction has become very popular over the past decade.  The eye doctors and eye surgeons at North Shore eye Care in Smithtown New York in long island have been at the forefront of lasik laser eye surgery during that time.  Our lasik doctors and lasik surgeons use only the best techniques including bladeless custom lasik or ilasik.  With ilasik, our board ceritified eye surgeons use Intralase, a blade free flap laser, to create a flap in the superficial layers of the cornea.  We then use Visx Customvue to do the laser vision correction.  With Customvue, we use a wavescan that creates a custom fingerprint of your vision which then automatically centers and tracks eye movements during the lasik procedure.  We also use iris registration in every case so that the lasik laser eye surgery is placed precisely where it should be.  With this method of Intralasik, the results are the best that they can be.

Some of our lasik patients are now reaching the age where cataract surgery is becoming necessary.  With cataract surgery, we use a small incision to remove the cloudy of defective lens of the eye and replace it with an intraocular implant or IOL to restore vision.  Dr. Martin, Dr. Zweibel and Dr. Mauro specialize in cataract surgery and use the most advanced techniques including no-stitch, no-patch, no-needle cataract surgery.  We use state of the art implants such as crystalens, restor, rezoom, and tecnis multifocal that are designed to give the best near and far vision without using glasses in many cases.

After lasik, the cornea has been changed.  The formulas that we use to calculate intraocular lens power is based on an unaltered cornea.  It is very important that your cataract surgeon know that you have had lasik and that he or she knows how to alter the formulas so that the implant power adjustment can be used to get the best result.  The eye doctors at North Shore Eye Care in long island new york have vast experience in making sure that our lasik patients are just as successful with cataract surgery.
