ilasik laser vision correction in your long island new york neighborhood
Long Islanders have trusted the board certified eye doctors and eye surgeons at North Shore Eye Care in Smithtown New York in long Island for many years. Dr. Sidney Martin started North Shore Eye Care in 1962 back when there were no office buildings in Smithtown in Long Island. Quite a bit has changed since then and Smithtown is now a busy surburban town close to new york city. Dr. Sidney Martin started with general eye care of patients with glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts, dry eye, diabetes and diabetic retinopathy and grew later to encompass the latest in lasik and laser eye surgery. His son, Dr. Jeffrey Martin, along with Dr. Larry Zweibel and Dr. John Mauro round out the current board certified team of lasik surgeons and lasik doctors. We do the very best in lasik laser eye surgery including ilasik, which is the most advanced way possible to have lasik. With ilasik, we use Intralase, a blade-free laser to make a superficial flap in the cornea. This is the safest and most precise way to make a flap. We then use Customvue by Visx and use a wavescan to make a waveprint or wavemap of your unique vision. This is then placed on the cornea using automatic tracking and centering as well as iris registration. Iris registration is a way that the laser uses the landmarks of each patient's iris to precisely place the laser vision correction ablation. Ilasik is the state of the art way to perform lasik and the only way that our eye doctors would consider.
For their commitment to excellence in eye care, Dr. Jeff Martin and dr.Larry Zweibel have been voted "Top doctors: New York metro area" by Castle Connolly. This award is given to the top ten percent of practicing doctors by region and by specialty. We are thrilled to be part of the family of top doctors.
