  The natural lens of the eye over time, becomes clouded. This is called a cataract. During the cataract procedure, the eye surgeon makes a small incision in the cornea about the size of a pencil tip. Then using ultrasound technology, the cataract is removed in a matter of minutes and carefully inserted is the new lens, either a monofocal or premium IOL(intraocular lens). A similar procedure is used to remove the natural lens for the patient who does not have cataracts but desires decreased dependence on glasses, either as an alternative to LASIK or PRK, they do not qualify for LASIK or PRK because there prescription is to large or to eliminate reading glasses in general. In this case, the patient may elect have a premium IOL. This is also called “clear lens exchange.” Drs.

The History of Cataract Surgery... ask the cataract experts at North Shore Eye Care in Smithtown New York in Long island

February 19, 2010 @ 07:27 AM — by unknown
Cataract surgery has changed dramatically over the last 20 years. In 1962 when Dr. Sidney Martin, a board certified eye doctor and eye surgeon, cataract surgery was performed through a large incision. The cloudy lens of cataract was removed through the incision in one piece and then the incision was sutured. There were no intraocular implants or IOLs so patients had to get very thick glasses called aphakic glasses so that they could see better. These glasses were so thick that there was significant distortion of vision and patients were never really that happy with their functional vision. Because cataract surgery was difficult to get through, patients would wait until they were essentially blind before considering cataract surgery. Today, the board certified cataract doctors and cataract surgeons at North Shore Eye Care in Smithtown New York in Long Island in Suffolk County are able to complete cataract surgery through a 2 millimeter incision without the use of stitches, an eye patch or a needle around the eye. Deep sedation is not necessary today. Our patient get IV sedation and eye drops to numb the surface of the eye. Cataract surgery takes a few minutes and after the cloudy lens or cataract is removed, an intraocular implant or IOL is used to restore vision. We use several implants including premium implants that are designed to provide near and far vision without glasses or contact lenses. We sue accommodating implants like Crystalens and multifocal implants like Restor, Rezoom, and Tecnis Multifocal. We also use Acrysof Toric to reduce or eliminate astigmatism. This leads to the best possible vision and the best possible result. In Long Island New York in suffolk and Nassau County, we see patients from smithtown, nesconset, saint james, kings park, fort salonga, huntington, commack, northport, centerport, greenlawn, dix hills, melville, deer park, plainview, bethpage, woodbury, syosset, massapequa, lindenhurst, sayville, bay shore, babylon, farmingdale, manhasset, rockville center, garden city, east meadow, merrick, roslyn, jericho, brookville, new york city, manhattan, bronx, brooklyn, queens, and many other towns.

North Shore Eye Care was founded by Dr. Sidney Martin, a board certified eye doctor and eye surgeon, in 1962.  At the time, Dr. Sid Martin started his eye care practice in suffolk county of long island to take care of eye patients with glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, diabetes, cataracts, dry eye, as well as laser eye surgery as laser became available.  Over the years, Dr. Larry Zweibel, Dr. Jeffrey Martin, and Dr. John Mauro joined Dr. Sidney Martin, who still practices ophthalmology part time at 80 years of age. 

Cataract surgery is done in the most modern way at our eye care practice and takes about 10 minutes.  Our board certified cataract doctors and cataract surgeons use small incision cataract surgery and do not use stitches, eye patches or needles around the eyes.  Our patients stay in their own clothes and return home the very same day.  There is little to no discomfort and our patients see right away.  Our eye surgeons specialize in intraocular implants or IOLs that are designed to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses.  There are accommodating IOLs like crystalens that moves slightly in the eye with focus which increases depth of vision.  We also use multifocal implants like the restor, rezoom, and tecnis multifocal.  We also use Acrysof Toric implant to reduce or eliminate astigmatism in patients with astigmatism.  Dr. Martin and Dr. Zweibel have been voted "Top Doctors: New York Metro Area" by Castle Connolly ltd and North Shore Eye Care has been voted a National Crystalens Cataract Surgery Center of Excellence by Bausch and Lomb.

We start eye drops three days before cataract surgery because we feel that it gives our patients the best chance at a great result.  We use an antibiotic and an anti-inflammatory eye drop.  Following cataract surgery, we continue eye drops, also adding a steroid eye drop for several weeks following cataract surgery.  The eye drops are probably the hardest part about cataract surgery due to the fact that you have to use them for weeks.
