Many people ask us what LASIK is all about. LASIK (laser assisted in-situ keratomileusis) surgery is an operation that is performed to correct a person’s prescription whether their nearsightedness (myopia), farsighted (hyperopia) or astigmatism. A person’s prescription is mostly dictated by the size, shape and structure of the eye. The cornea is the clear or translucent part of the eye that sits in front of the iris (colored part of the eye.) It is the cornea that allows light to refracts or bend, subsequently focusing it on the back of the eye which is called the retina.  What actually happens in LASIK surgery is that the cornea is reshaped by a laser and your custom prescription is embedded on to your eye. Your prescription is measured by a sophisticated laser that scans your cornea, almost like a fingerprint scan, unique to each person. 

At North Shore Eye Care, we perform only blade free or bladeless procedures with Intralase. This is the safest and most precise technique possible. We also do all custom customvue lasik with wavescan waveprint mapping for the most accurate result. Bladeless custom lasik along with personalized care makes the recipe for a successful outcome. Our staff also treats patients in manner that is truly appreciated.

North Shore eye care was founded in 1962 by Dr. Sidney Martin, a board certified eye surgeon that was raised in the new york metro area.  Dr. Martin started his practice in smithtown new york to take care of Long Islanders with glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetes and diabetic retinopathy, cataracts, dry eye, uveitis and other eye care problems.  North Shore Eye Care grew with Long Island and eventually Dr. Martin was joined by Dr. Lawrence Zweibel and later his son, Dr. Jeffrey Martin.  Today, Dr. John Mauro is the latest member of the eye doctors and eye surgeons at our eye care practice. 

With the advent of Laser vision correction and lasik, North Shore Eye's lasik surgeons and lasik doctors have lead the way in laser eye surgery in Suffolk and Nassau County in Long Island.  We perform only the best in lasik including bladeless custom lasik with Intralase and Customvue.  The significance of ilasik is that Intralase is a laser that makes the safest flaps and most precise flaps as the first step of lasik.  There are no more blade machines at North Shore Eye Care.  We then use Customvue with automatic centering and tracking that includes iris registration.  With customvue, the laser gets a waveprint which is like a fingerprint of your vision.  That laser vision is precisely placed on your cornea using your particular iris landmarks.  This leads to the very best results for all of our patients.

In Long Island new york in suffolk and nassau counties, we see patients from smithtown, nesconset, saint james, kings park, fort salonga, huntington, commack, northport, centerport, greenlawn, dix hills, melville, lindenhurst, bay shore, babylon, massapequa, merrick, plainview, farmingdale, farmingville, woodbury, syosset, bethpage, cold spring harbor, garden city, rockville center, east meadow, roslyn, great neck, muttontown, mineola, levittown, new york city, manhattan, brooklyn, queens, and many other towns.

At North Shore Eye Care in Smithtown New York in Long Island, we offer the best in laser vision correction.  Our board certified lasik doctors and lasik surgeons have been performing bladeless custom lasik or ilasik for years and have always been in the forefront of laser vision correction.  When Dr. Jeffrey Martin and Dr. Larry Zweibel starting doing lasik years ago, the procedure was not yet refined to the degree it is today.  Today, in lasik, we make our flaps with Intralase, a blade free laser that makes the most accurate and safest flaps possible.  We then do Visx Customvue to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.  Our Visx laser automatically centers, automatically tracks and uses iris registration for the best results possible.  Iris registration is a process that uses the patient's unique iris landmarks to exactly place the laser eye surgery ablation.  These custom and bladeless lasik laser eye surgery procedures are enjoyed by our Long Island patients every week. 

Some patients do not qualify for custom lasik for a number of reasons.  As  a matter of fact, about 30 percent of our patients have one of several types of advanced surface ablation.  Surface ablation is the same custom laser vision correction without the flap part of the procedure.  Patients with advanced surface ablation such as PRK, epilasik, or lasek, patients get the same exact excellent visual result, but do need to wait a bit longer for the final result.  There is also more discomfort in the first couple of days healing.  Our patients that have thin corneas, irregular corneas, or high prescriptions tend to be better candidates for surface laser vision correction.  On your free lasik consultation, we do the appropriate testing including corneal topography, pachymetry and wavefront analysis and then discuss your options with you.

Laser vision correction has been a successful laser eye surgery procedure for years and has become safer and more advanced over the years.  The eye doctors and eye surgeons at North Shore Eye Care in Smithtown New York in Long Island have been perfecting and lasik procedure and currently do all bladeless custom lasik  or ilasik.  The great thing about lasik today is that we use Intralase, a blade free laser to make our flaps in lasik.  This is the safest and most precise way to make a flap.  We use Customvue by Visx for our laser eye surgery corrections.  This uses Wavescan to get a custom fingerprint of each patient's vision called a waveprint or wavemap.  This is placed on the patients eye using iris registration, automatic centering and automatic tracking.  Ilasik is the most precise and safest way to have lasik and our long island patients benefit from that.

In some cases, doing laser vision correction without the flap or on the surface of the eye is the best way to do it.  With prk, lasek, or epilasik, the laser vision correction is still custom, but there is no flap.  With advanced surface ablation, healing time is a bit longer and there is usually more discomfort for a couple of days.  However, the final visual result is the same.  Our patients that have thin corneas, irregular corneas, or high prescriptions sometimes benefit from surface laser vision correction because it can be safer in those clinical situations.  Also, some patients with severe dry eye can benefit from surface laser vision correction.  In your free lasik consultation with one of our board certified lasik surgeons and lasik doctors, we will discuss your specific ocular situation in your eye examination to best inform you of your options.
