Come to our free morning seminars on cataract surgery at North Shore Eye Care

We perform over a thousand cataract surgeries each year using the most advanced techniques. Dr. Martin, Dr. Zweibel and Dr Mauro rarely use stitches, periocular needle injections or even eye patches. All of our doctors are board certified at North Shore Eye Care. In cataract surgery, the cataract or cloudy lens of the eye is removed through a small incision using gentle ultrasound called phacoemulsification and the cloudy lens is replaced with an intraocular lens implant or IOL. The purpose of this implant is to restore vision.  Those patients that desire better vision at far and near without glasses can choose one of the premium implants that are designed to reduce glasses and far and near.  These implants are either accommodating or multifocal and include Restor, Rezoom, Tecnis Multifocal, Crystalens and also the Acrysof Toric implant that reduces or eliminates astigmatism.  Our patients return home the very same day and have little to no discomfort.  There are no needles, stitches or even an eye patch used in most cases. All of these premium lenses give patients better far and near vision without the use of glasses and contact lenses. We also use the Acrysof Toric implant to reduce or eliminate astigmatism. All of our doctors enjoy using these improved implants because it allows our patients more freedom and range of their vision.
