North Shore eye care in smithtown new york in long island has three board certified leading cataract surgeons in suffolk county serving patients from melville to riverhead.  Two of our cataract experts have been included in Top Doctors: New York Metro Area and our eye care practice is a Crystalens National Center of Excellence.  North Shore eye care and our cataract surgeons, Dr. Larry Zweibel, Dr. Jeffrey Martin, and Dr. John Mauro strive to achieve a level of excellence in cataract surgery that is unsurpassed in our region.  We constantly improve our cataract technology and technique.  The cataract surgery we currently perform is small incision topical cataract surgery which takes a few minutes and does not require needles around the eyes, stitches, or even an eye patch.  Our patients are given IV sedation by our board certified anesthesiologist and topical eye drops for numbing the eye surface.  Our patients lie on the comfortable bed and see a bright light.  Our eye doctors complete most surgeries in a few minutes and patients are free to return to the comfort of their home the very same day.  We like the no patch technique because you are able to take important healing eye drops right away and you are able to use your vision right away.  Our Smithtown location is brand new with 6000 square feet of clinical space and our Riverhead location will be opening in the next couple of months.  Of course, NOrth Shore eye care will continue to pave the way in advancements in cataract care and cataract surgery.
