Pentacam in lasik and post lasik cataract surgery

North Shore eye care in smithtown new york in long island always strives to have the top technology.  Pentacam is a state of the art corneal topography technology that helps our board certified eye surgeons to be as precise and safe as possible.  In bladless custom lasik, it is imperative that our lasik surgeons know that the patient is an excellent candidate for laser vision correction.  The pentacam gives important information about the front of the cornea, the back of the cornea, corneal thickness over the whole cornea as well as systems that alert the eye doctor if something is outside of normal.  We are thrilled to give our patients this wonderful technology.

In cataract surgery following laser eye surgery, it is imperative to get the true corneal power.  Most measuring devices are not able to get the true corneal power because they are unable to measure the center of the cornea and the cornea has been altered by laser vision correction.  The Pentacam has a program designed by world renowned ophthalmologist, Dr. Jack Holladay, that is able to give our board certified cataract surgeons to get that measurement that has been difficult to obtain by other technology.  Dr. Martin, Dr. Zweibel, and Dr. Mauro feel confident that by adding the Pentacam, we can now deliver even more precise and accurate eye care to our patients.

If you are considering cataract surgery or lasik, you have to come to see what makes North Shore Eye Care such a special eye care practice.
