Cataract surgery implants...ask the cataract experts in smithtown new york in long island

Cataracts are a clouding of the natural crystalline lens of the eye that occur as we age.  When the symptoms of cataract become severe enough to interfere with quality of life, we entertain cataract surgery.  These symptoms are glare with headlights while driving at night, glare with sunlight, and general blurred vision.  Cataract surgery is performed through a microscopic incision using eye drop anesthesia at our smithtown new york office in long island.  We do not routinely use stitches, an eye patch or needles around the eyes.  Our patients are able to return to the comfort of their home the very same day.

In cataract surgery, we place an intraocular lens implant in the eye following cataract removal.  Some patients elect to have the standard implant that gives good distance vision only.  These long islanders still use glasses for near work.  For those patients that desire better range of vision without glasses, there are accommodating and multifocal premium implants that allow our patients to see far and near without glasses.  These implants are the crystalens, tecnis multifocal, restor, rezoom and also the astigmatism correcting acrysof toric implant.  Our board certified cataract surgeons discuss all of your options in a full eye exam prior to surgery.
