North Shore Eye Care has been a leader in cataract surgery for many years.  Dr. Sidney Martin founded the Smithtown New York practice back in 1960 and at that time, the eye care practice cared for patients with glaucoma, macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetes, diabetic retinopathy, dry eye, and other eye conditions.  Over the years, with the addition of Dr. Larry Zweibel, Dr. Jeff martin and more recently Dr John Mauro,  North Shore Eye Care continued as  a leading general eye care practice, but there was a specialty in cataract surgery and laser vision correction that occurred.  Cataract surgery at North Shore Eye Care takes about ten minutes and is done with topical anesthesia with IV sedation.  There are no needles around the eyes, no stitches, and no eye patch following the cataract treatment.  Our patients are able to stay in their own clothes and return home the very same day.  There is no hospital stay.  As  a matter

At North Shore Eye Care, here in our Smithtown, Long island, we perform the most advanced cataract surgery available. Cataract surgery has come a long way in the last thirty  years. Through the use of conscious sedation, an incision under three millimeters is made in the cornea and the cataract is removed using high speed ultrasound (phacoemulsification). The entire procedure usually lasts about ten minutes. In our practice, needle injections around the eye are rare used and hence  we do not routinely use sutures or patches. This gives our patients who are on anticoagulation (Coumadin, Plavix, Aspirin)the ability to continue there medicine prior to and after surgery. Our patients usually have quick recovery and are able to see right away. We are happy to offer the latest in intraocular lenses in cataract surgery. Dr. Lawrence Zweibel, Dr. Jeffrey Martin and Dr. John Mauro use premium intraocular lenses such as: Crystalens, Acrysof Toric, Restor and Technis.  Therefore
