Cataract surgery continues to evolve at a rapid rate.   With the advancement of new technologies patients find it easier to undergo and recover from this procedure.

With the ever changing techniques and innovations associated with cataract surgery there has been large patient interest in this field.  For this reason we will be offering a cataract seminar at North Shore Eye Care.  Realizing the early time of day coffee and refreshments will be available for all those who didn't get a chance to have breakfast. 

 With the first baby boomers turning 65 this past January Doctors are finding that patients are developing increasing expectations with regards to their cataract surgery.  Once an operation intended to soley restore vision more and more people are looking to achieve spectacle independence.

Cataracts which represent a clouding of the natural lens of the usually due to increasing age must be removed in order to restore vision.  While this was once considered a restorative procedure enabling patients to see again, it is now evolving into a refractive procedure as more and more patients want to see better while at the same time achieving some degree of spectacle independence.

 The fascinating subject of cataract surgery which has become more complex, yet safer with quicker rehabilitation times will be discussed Monday morning at 8 A.M.    

With the development of improved lens implants to replace the natural lens of the eye when it no longer allows for acceptable vision, it is important to pick the lens that's best for you when having cataract surgery. 

 While cataract surgery has continued to evolve rapidly over the past decade, not all eye surgeons have kept up with these changes.

As baby boomers continue to age the amount of cataract surgery performed continues to rise.

As cataract surgery continues to evolve many new choices have become available to patients.  A cataract is a natural lens within the eye no longer functions properly because of loss of clarity making normal tasks difficult to perform.  Environment and heredity are factors that can influence cataract formation, but as people age all people get some degree of cataract formation.

Modern cataract surgery performed by the surgeons at North Shore Eye Care is now safer with a speedier patient recovery than ever before.  With sutureless surgery performed through microincisions patients now often leave the operating room without even a patch. 

 Since 1976 the surgeons at North Shore Eye have been at the forefront of intraocular lens implantion while performing cataract surgery on Long Island.  Since then lenses have gone through a steady evolution in the attempt to afford more natural vision.

As patients become aware of the good vision available following cataract surgery, they search for the latest technology lenses that are best for them.
