Cataract surgery by the best eye doctors in long island new york in smithtown

North Shore Eye care in smithtown new york in long island is a leader in cataract surgery.  Our board certified cataract surgeons have been named "Top Doctors in the New York Metro Area" by Castle Connolly.  This designation has been seen in New York Magazine, Newsday and the New York Times.  North Shore Eye Care has also been named a Crystalens National Center of Excellence.  These accolades highlight our commitment to excellence in the area of cataract surgery.  Our board certified cataract specialists operate through small incisions and rarely use stitches, eye patches, or needles around the eyes.  Once a cataract is removed, we replace the defective lens with an intraocular implant or IOL.  This implant is designed to restore vision and there are several types.

The standard implants allow our long island patients to see far and with these implants, glasses for near will be needed.  There are multifocal and accommodating implants that are specialty implants and allow a patient to see far and near without the use of glasses or contact lenses.  These newer implants are superior in that they allow a better range of vision.  These IOLs come with a cost, but North Shore Eye Care has zero percent financing for two years to help finance the better technology.  We also use Alcon Acrysof Toric implants that reduce or eliminate astigmatism.
