North Shore eye care, long island's choice in cataract surgery from dix hills to riverhead

North Shore eye care is a leading cataract surgery eye care practice located in smithtown new york serves patients from dix hills to riverhead and beyond giving the people of long island a truly state of the art choice in cataract treatment.  Our board certified cataract experts help our patients through the process in a unique and incredible way.  We meet with our patients personally, explain all options and explain the process giving our patients a feeling of security and comfort.  Our cataract surgery is performed at an outpatient surgery center.  Our patients are able to stay in their own comfortable clothes and we do not use stitches, needles around the eyes or even an eye patch following surgery.  After our board certified anesthesiologist gives IV sedation to relax our patients, we use eye drop numbing to the surface of the eye.  Our cataract surgery is done through a microscopic incision without the need for stitches and our patients are able to return home the very same day. 

Our cataract experts continue to learn and expand their knowledge base at national meetings and our doctors are proud to be teaching eye doctors on long island.  On May 15, North Shore eye care is having an eye care symposium for the eye doctors of long island.  This is our third symposium where we teach the latest in eye care to our surrounding eye doctors.  The first two symposium had attendence of over 100 doctors each.  We help to educate about the choices in cataract surgery including premium implants lenses designed to reduce or eliminate glasses or contact lenses in patients following cataract surgery.  We will also speak about the Toric intraocular implant that reduces or eliminates astigmatism.  With these new lifestyle intraocular lenses, our patients are able to live their lives with less dependence on glasses or contact lenses.  Our four board certified eye surgeons, Dr. Sidney Martin, Dr. Jeffrey Martin, Dr. Larry Zweibel and Dr. John Mauro are available for consultation with all those who would like expert advice on cataract treatment options.
