LASIK in the 40 and over crowd... ask the lasik experts in smithtown new york in long island

Lasik laser vision correction has become very popular over the past decade.  Our smithtown new york eye doctors and lasik surgeons specialize in the best lasik techniques available.  The long island patients that have laser eye surgery with North Shore Eye Care know that they are getting a lasik procedure that is always bladeless or blade-free and always customized.  We use Intralase which is a blade free laser to make a flap in the superficial layers of the cornea.  Intralase makes the thinnest and most accurate flap possible as the first step of lasik.  We then use a wavescan to get a custom fingerprint of your vision.  This custom fingerprint is used to make the laser vision correction.  As that is done, the laser automatically centers and automatically tracks as well as uses iris registration for exact placement. 

In patients under 40 years of age, lasik laser eye surgery is able to make patients free of glasses completely.  Once a patient is presbyopic around 45 years of age, if we give a patient perfect distance vision, they will still need reading glasses.  Once a patient is in need of bifocals or their prescription for near and far differ, laser eye surgery will only correct one of the distances.  Some patients are willing to make that sacrifice and some are not.  Our board certified lasik surgeons discuss this with you in total prior to the lasik eye surgery.
