Laser cataract surgery coming to long island

North Shore eye care has been a leader in cataract surgery in long island for many years.  Our board certified surgeons are excited about the approval of the first laser cataract surgery system.  Laser cataract surgery hopes to add even more precision and safety to an already amazing outpatient procedure.  With standard cataract surgery, our cataract surgeons, operate through microscopic incisions without the need for stitches, eye patches or needles around the eyes.  We have refined the cataract surgery procedure to the point that it takes only a few minutes and the risk of complication is less than 1 percent.  Our eye doctors pride themselves on their track record in the area of cataract surgery and dr. Martin and Dr. Zweibel have been awarded Top Doctor in the New York Metro Area by Castle Connolly for years.

With laser cataract surgery, several of the steps that are currently done manually will be accomplished with a laser.  This adds to precision and absolute repeatability that will further enhance the results.  It is important in cataract surgery to keep all steps of the procedure the same.  In this way, the refractive results become more standard.   This is especially important with premium implants designed to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses and contact lenses.  Dr. Martin, Dr. Zweibel and Dr. John Mauro await the arrival of the first laser cataract surgery machine to long island new york and hope to have one soon near their main office in Smithtown.
