At North Shore Eye Care in Smithtown new york in long island, we take care of patients of all ages.  When a patient decides to have bladeless custom lasik or ilasik over the age of 40, they have to be prepared to still use reading glasses unless monovision is used.   Monovision is the process of doing lasik on one eye for distance and one eye for close.  Many long island patients do not tolerate monovision that well and therefore, we are more inclined to do straight distance lasik and have our patients use magnifiers for near.

Cataract Surgery in the past few decades has made tremendous improvements and progress. Currently, the most advanced technique involves no general anesthesia, no stitches and quick recovery of vision within days. Additionally, there are newer lenses that can be implanted in the eye that not only serve for distance vision but near vision as well. At North Shore Eye Care we only offer the latest technology in cataract surgery and lens options.
