The cataract surgeons at North Shore Eye Care offer the latest technology for their patients

  More and more patients are realizing that their vision can be improved even beyond what they had prior to cataract formation. To do this, however it is not enough to just have successful cataract surgery, as other skills are often necessary.  For instance most cataract surgeons still don't offer premium intraocular lenses when replacing cataracts.  The main advantage of these lenses is that they free patients from the need to wear glasses.  The reason many opthalmologists avoid these lenses is because unless you put in exactly the right lens patients won't be entirely satisfied.  At North Shore Eye care we only use the latest diagnostic equipment to insure the correct lens is utilized, but this is sometimes not enough, and other procedures may be necessary to gain the expected result.  These often involve corneal relaxing incisions known as astigmatic keratotomy, or sometimes laser vision correction such as lasik.  Of interest only 30% of cataract surgeons are capable of performing these procedures.

At North Shore Eye care we specialize in all aspects of cataract surgery and refractive surgery including lasik, PRK, and lasek.  Our surgeons who have been recognized consistently in Castle Connelly's Top Doctors in the New York Metro area will be happy to discuss with you all options that can be considered prior to surgery and will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
