Cataract surgery in long island new york

Cataract surgery at North Shore eye care in long island new york is a highly technological experience.  Our board certified eye surgeons do the very best in cataract treatment including the use of several premium intraocular lens implants.  At our eye care practice in smithtown new york, we do small incision cataract surgery with the use of computer controlled ultrasound called phacoemulsification.  We do this through a microscopic incision and do not use stitches, an eye patch or needles around the eyes.  Our typical cataract operation takes about 10 minutes and our patients are able to return to the comfort of their home the very same day.  We have also just introduced a cataract surgery eye drop regimen that is just twice a day instead of the more typical four times a day regimen.

For those patients that would like to reduce or eliminate their need for glasses, we offer premium intraocular lens implants like the crystalens, restor, rezoom, and tecnis multifocal.  These accommodating and multifocal implants are used to decrease the need for glasses at all distances.  We also use toric implants to reduce astigmatism.  In this way, we are able to decrease, nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism with our cataract surgery.
