North Shore Eye Care was founded by Dr. Sidney Martin in 1962 in Smithtown New York in Long Island. As a board certified eye doctor and eye surgeon, he opened his eye care practice to care for patients with cataracts, macular degeneration, diabetes and diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, dry eye, and lid problems. He built the practice based on the principles of commitment to excellence in eye care and eye surgery. Today, North Shore Eye Care is located in Suffolk County of Long Island and includes three more board certified cataract and lasik surgeons, Dr. Jeffrey Martin, Dr. Larry Zweibel, and Dr. John Mauro. All of our eye doctors are committed to the very best in cataract surgery and lasik laser eye surgery. Dr. Martin and Dr. Zweibel have been voted as Top Doctors in the New York Metro Area by Castle Connolly ltd and North Shore Eye Care has been deemed a Crystalens National Center of Excellence by Bausch and Lomb.
The cost of cataract surgery is considerable, but in most cases insurance companies and Medicare cover the majority of the cost. A cataract surgery takes a few minutes in skilled hands and our patients do not have needles around the eyes, stitches or an eye patch. Our board certified cataract surgeons have been on the cutting edge of technology and technique for years and Dr. Jeff Martin teaches cataract surgery to resident eye doctors at the Va hospital at Northport. If you decide to have a premium intraocular implant with cataract surgery so that you do not need glasses for near or far, our doctors specialize in these implants. We use Crystalens, the accommodating implant as well as Acrysof Toric to reduce or eliminate astigmatism. Also available are multifocal implants like rezoom, restor, and tecnis multifocal.
