Outpatient cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation performed by the surgeons at North Shore Eye

 Since 1976 the surgeons at North Shore Eye have been at the forefront of intraocular lens implantion while performing cataract surgery on Long Island.  Since then lenses have gone through a steady evolution in the attempt to afford more natural vision.  When the cataractous lens of the eye is removed at the time of cataract surgery a new lens is required to restore vision.  In the recent years a whole variety of new lenses have become available and before having surgery patients should discuss with their doctors their possible options.  Things to consider are aspheric lenses that improve contrast sensitivity, thus making night driving both easier and safer.  If you have astigmatism very accurate aspheric toric lenses are a strong consideration.  Blue blocking lenses can be obtained that may help with glare and perhaps be safer for preserving retinal health and integrity.  To round out you choices you can pick from many lenses that aid with near vision while still affording excellent distance vision all without the aid of spectacles.  

At North Shore Eye the surgeons are not only skilled with all of your intraocular lens options but are also recognized by Castle Connelly's "Top Doctors" as excellent cataract surgeons.  Most importantly however, when you come to North Shore Eye you will be treated courteously by are friendly staff. You also get to see your surgeon not just at the time of surgery but for all you preop and postop appointments.
