Cataract Surgery at North Shore Eye Care

March 23, 2010 @ 07:53 AM — by John Mauro
At North Shore Eye Care, here in our Smithtown, Long island, we perform the most advanced cataract surgery available. Cataract surgery has come a long way in the last thirty  years. Through the use of conscious sedation, an incision under three millimeters is made in the cornea and the cataract is removed using high speed ultrasound (phacoemulsification). The entire procedure usually lasts about ten minutes. In our practice, needle injections around the eye are rare used and hence  we do not routinely use sutures or patches. This gives our patients who are on anticoagulation (Coumadin, Plavix, Aspirin)the ability to continue there medicine prior to and after surgery. Our patients usually have quick recovery and are able to see right away. We are happy to offer the latest in intraocular lenses in cataract surgery. Dr. Lawrence Zweibel, Dr. Jeffrey Martin and Dr. John Mauro use premium intraocular lenses such as: Crystalens, Acrysof Toric, Restor and Technis.  Therefore

What is a cataract? What to look for?

March 19, 2010 @ 01:53 PM — by John Mauro
A cataract is a clouding the lens of the eye which, when were born is normally transparent. This clouding is usually caused by protein build up which makes up the lens begins to discolor and affect vision. The word “cataract” translates to “waterfall” and in early times it was said that people described there vision as if they were looking through a waterfall. When in the early stages, a cataract is usually mild and may only affect a portion of the lens. However,as the cataract grows larger it can make it tougher to  see.  Cataracts are like wrinkles in the skin, unfortunately as we get older, there inevitable and develop in both eyes.

Individuals who are candidates for premium IOL implants at our Smithtown office practice usually present with  a cataract that is causing significant visual changes and are in otherwise in good ocular health. These patients also express  a strong desire to be less dependent on glasses for a wide range of vision, including distance and near. There are many different premium IOL manufacturers, which use different technology. After a full ophthalmic examination, any of our board certified doctors will discuss your vision goals with you. One of our doctors will then make a recommendation in terms of IOL choice that would be best fit their need.

Meaning that at the center of the lens is a series of many stepwise concentric circles which are precisely calibrated to allow light to enter the eye, whi

  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. Zweibel, Martin and Mauro all use the "no-stitch" method of cataract surgery and implanting an IOL. The "no-stitch" technique allows fast visual recovery. The intraocular
