Cataract surgery for long islanders including patients from suffolk and nassau counties including Melville, Riverhead and Smithtown

Cataract surgery is a very successful outpatient procedure that helps long islanders improve vision.  Our board certified eye doctors help patients from Nassau and Suffolk counties including Melville, Smithtown, and Riverhead.  A cataract is a natural clouding of the lens of the eye.  This happens as we age and is also made worse by smoking, excessive UV light exposure, certain medications, and family history.  The symptoms of cataract include blurred vision and fluctuation of vision, glare with oncoming headlights while driving at night and glare with sunlight.  When a cataract becomes significant to the point that it interferes with quality of life and daily activities, we suggest cataract surgery.  Our board certified cataract specialists perform cataract surgery in an outpatient surgery center and use small incisions without the need for stitches.  We do not use needle injections around the eyes and almost never use an eye patch following surgery.  The entire cataract procedure takes a few minutes and our patients return to the comfort of their home the very same day. 

For those patients that desire to reduce their need for glasses and contact lenses for far and near, we offer lifestyle implants also called premium implants such as tecnis multifocal, restor, and crystalens.   These special implants help patients to see far and near with less dependence or independence from glasses and contact lenses.  We also use many toric implants that reduce or eliminate astigmatism.  With these amazing implants lenses, we provide bladeless custom lasik laser vision correction at no cost if it is necessary to fine tune the visual result for the best vision possible.  North Shore eye care is  a National Crystalens Center of Excellence and our eye doctors have been included in "Top Doctors: New York Metro Area" by Castle Connolly for years.  Come in and find out what makes North Shore eye care such a special place.
