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.

LASIK or Laser in-situ keratomileusiss is a procedure for correcting farsightedness, nearsightedness and astigmatism. Astigmatism is caused by having different curvatures on the surface of the cornea. Almost every person has some form of astigmatism, because no one has a "perfect" cornea.  It is also known that people may actually develop astigmatism depending on there daily activities and if they strain a lot with their eyes. Common symptoms of eye strain are headaches, dizziness, fatigue, typically that worsens throughout the day. The cornea is normally supposed to look like a transparent sphere that covers the front of the eye. When individuals have significant astigmatism there cornea more resembles the shape of a football.

Custom LASIK surgery is designed to correct a person’s prescription, including nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. Laser surgery actually reshapes the cornea to a more spherical shape, thereby maximizing the best vision from the eye. Advanced technology has made it possible for LASIK surgery to be custom to each person and also bladeless, allowing the laser to do all the work precisely. The laser is guided by a digital map of your cornea which is sort of like a fingerprint of your eye.

Many have careers (models, professional athletes, actors/actresses) that consider looking good without glasses an occupational necessity. While others just want the independence of not wearing glasses either for convenience or cosmetic purposes. When choosing a surgeon, you must insist that they are board certified ophthalmologists and are using the most advanced equipment. Here at North Shore Eye Care we are all board certified. Drs Zweibel, Martin and Mauro all specialize in Custom Bladeless LASIK surgery. Please feel free to schedule a complimentary consultation with our staff.

Monovision gives reference to the use of one eye for near vision and the other for distance vision. This procedure has great success for patients with presbyopia. The surgeon typically chooses the dominant eye as the distance eye and the non-dominant eye as the near vision eye. The surgeon will then give a trial of contact lenses to simulate what what the vision would be like. If the trial is successful, then the LASIK surgeon will perform laser surgery, correcting the stronger (dominant) eye for distance and the weaker eye (non-dominant) for near vision. Patients who already have mild to moderate myopia (nearsightedness) usually do well, sometimes not even needing a contact lenses trial.

Monovision uses a process in the brain called neuro-adaptation. The brain has to get used to the fact that one eye is designed for near and the other for far, perceiving two simultaneous images and tries to blend them together. It could take upto 3-4 months for this process to occur, typically it usually happens within a month. Consideration when getting monovision is given to the fact that there is a decrease in depth perception. Some individuals who are very active in athletics tend to like all full depth perception, while individuals who have more laid back lifestyle do not miss the decrease in depth perception. Monovision is typically for patients in the 40’s to 50’s. In our experience, patients either love it or hate it. If the monovison works well for you, it reduces your dependence on reading glasses significantly but not totally. We always tell patients that they will probably need glasses to do fine detail work (reading fine print on a prescription bottle, needling, etc..)

Here at North Shore Eye Care, Dr. Zweibel, Dr. Martin and Dr. Mauro all specialize in laser refractive surgery and monovision. Our goal is to find the perfect recipe for each person in addressing there daily activities and lifestyle.

At North Shore Eye Care in Smithtown New York, we have been leaders in lasik for many years.  We perform the latest in lasik laser vision correction including bladeless custom lasik.  When it comes to lasik, you want a blade-free and customized experience.  With Intralase, our board certified Long Island lasik surgeons make the safest and most precise flap possible without using blades or metal microkeratomes.  Intralase makes a think, accurate, planar flap for the best results possible.  Our eye doctors and eye surgeons then use Visx Customvue to make a custom fingerprint of your unique vision.  This fingerprint is placed on the eye using automatic centering, automatic tracking and iris registration.  Iris registration uses the precise landmarks of your cornea to get the best results possible. 

Even with the best in lasik, ilasik, patients can still encounter dry eye following lasik.  When patients have dry eye prior to lasik from certain medications, hormonal conditons, or environmental factors, lasik can make it temporarily worse.  Even patients without dry eye can have some level of dry eye following lasik.  We treat dry eye aggressively with artificial tears, omega 3 fatty acids and restasis.  Being dry eye specialists helps our lasik practice to a degree.  Our patients get a thorough eye exam prior to lasik so that those patients with clinically dry eye can be treated or at times told that they are not good candidates for lasik.

Some of our lasik patients are now reaching the age where cataract surgery is becoming necessary.  With cataract surgery, we use a small incision to remove the cloudy of defective lens of the eye and replace it with an intraocular implant or IOL to restore vision.  Dr. Martin, Dr. Zweibel and Dr. Mauro specialize in cataract surgery and use the most advanced techniques including no-stitch, no-patch, no-needle cataract surgery.  We use state of the art implants such as crystalens, restor, rezoom, and tecnis multifocal that are designed to give the best near and far vision without using glasses in many cases.

After lasik, the cornea has been changed.  The formulas that we use to calculate intraocular lens power is based on an unaltered cornea.  It is very important that your cataract surgeon know that you have had lasik and that he or she knows how to alter the formulas so that the implant power adjustment can be used to get the best result.  The eye doctors at North Shore Eye Care in long island new york have vast experience in making sure that our lasik patients are just as successful with cataract surgery.

 Lasik has been a popular outpatient laser eye surgery procedure for many years.  The most modern form of lasik is the only form of lasik provided by the board certified lasik doctors and lasik surgeons at North Shore Eye Care in Smithtown New York in Long Island.  Our eye doctors and eye surgeons do all bladeless custom lasik or ilasik.  The lasik laser vision correction part of the procedure is custom using wavefront for the most accurate result.  We use a Wavescan to create a waveprint or wavemap.  This custom pattern automatically centers and automatically tracks your eye movements and also uses iris registration for the most precise centration.  The great thing about wavefront with lasik is that it corrects all of the visual irregularities from the front of the eye to the back.  Before wavefront, we only corrected the prescription in your glasses such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, but not the higher irregularities of your vision called trefoil, comma, and spherical aberration.  The wavescan has many small lenses that shine into your eye and get a reflection back from the back of the eye and by passing through the entire eye, it picks up all of the visual patterns.  By doing this along with iris registration, the lasik laser vision correction results in our Long Island new York patients is better than ever.

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.

Lasik has been a very popular elective corrective eye surgery over the past 15 years.  Lasik laser eye surgery has improved quite a bit over that time and today, the eye doctors and eye surgeons at North Shore Eye Care perform all bladeless and custom lasik.  Dr. Jeffrey Martin, Dr. Larry Zweibel and Dr. John Mauro are all board certified and are very experienced in all aspects of laser vision correction.  When you come in for your free lasik consultation in our Smithtown New York office in suffolk county, we will do all the appropriate testing including corneal topography, pachymetry, wavescan and thorough eye examination.  We will explain our use of Intralase, a blade-free laser that makes the safest and most precise flap as the first step of lasik.  We then do all Customvue lasik vision correction using Wavescan, wavemap, waveprint technology that automatically centers, automatically tracks, and uses iris registration.  Ilasik is the term used to describe the most advanced lasik laser eye surgery that our board certified lasik doctors and lasik surgeons use every time we do corrective eye surgery.

There are always questions about risk in lasik laser vision correction.  We discuss all of the most common problems associated with lasik, lasek, and epilasik even though the risk of any complication in lasik is less than 1 percent.  There is a possibility of infection, imperfect flap, under and overcorrection, as well as ectasia, but with today's more improved laser platforms and our ability to avoid borderline cases, we have made lasik one of the safest procedures performed today.  We also aggressively treat dry eye and ocular surface conditions so that our patients recover quickly and see the best that can be.  When people speak about risk compared to contact lenses, our doctors have seen more eye problems from contact lenses than lasik.  There is significant risk of infection and corneal problems with overwearing contact lenses and contact lens abuse.  Once our patients have lasik, the risk of contact lens complications goes away.

Laser vision correction has been popular in the smithtown long island area for over ten years.  A lot has changed over the years and the lasik laser eye surgery procedure has improved dramatically.  Our lasik doctors and lasik surgeons at North Shore Eye Care in Suffolk County of New York have always been at the forefront of the improvements and change in lasik laser eye surgery.

In the beginning, we used microkeratome blade machines to make the superficial flap that is the first step in lasik.  These blade machines were good, but complications could be serious and vision threatening and did happen.  Microkeratomes improved over the years and the risk of complications became less.  In the last few years, our eye doctors and eye surgeons switched completely to bladeless or blade-free lasik with Intralase.  Intralase is a laser that uses no blades to make the flap in lasik.  Intralase uses a laser to gentle form the flap in full view of the surgeon.  If the flap does not look perfect, we simply don't lift it and do it again a week later.  The incidence of complication with Intralase is less than 1 percent and serious complication is very rare.  Dr. Jeffrey Martin, Dr. Larry Zweibel and Dr. John Mauro have enjoyed the state of the art Intralase.

When it comes to the vision correction part of lasik, we do ilasik today which includes custom lasik with automatic centering, automatic tracking and iris registration.  In the beginning, our board certified eye surgeons would manually input the numbers of your prescription into the laser and that was placed on the eye.  In this way, everyone with the same prescription received the exact same correction.  As we know, everyone's visual system is unique like their fingerprint.  With the advent of Customvue, the Wavescan reads each patient's eyes and creates a custom wavemap or waveprint.   This custom pattern is unique for each patient and has improved the results of lasik dramatically.  At North Shore eye care, we do all bladeless custom lasik.

Lasik surgery has emerged as one of the most common elective eye surgical procedures done today.  At North Shore Eye Care in Smithtown New York in Long Island, our board certified lasik surgeons and lasik doctors have been very successful with lasik laser eye surgery mainly because of their vast experience, but also because they use only the very best technology and technique.  Our board certified eye doctors and eye surgeons do all blade free lasik and all custom lasik.  In lasik, a thin flap is made in the superficial layers of the cornea.  This flap is only made with Intralase in our Suffolk County Long Island practice.  Intralase is a laser that makes the safest and most accurate flap possible.  We then use Customvue which is a way that the Visx laser takes a wavemap or waveprint of your visual system that allows Dr. Jeff Martin, Dr. Larry Zweibel and Dr. John Mauro to correct your vision in a custom way.  This custom laser vision correction automatically centers, automatically tracks and uses iris registration to exactly place the laser eye surgery correction.

The recovery from lasik is quite simple in most cases.  Our patients are able to drive, work, and return to normal activities the very next day.  For those patients that need advanced surface ablation such as PRK, lasek, or epilasik, the recovery takes a few days.  Lasik patients are always pleased that the recovery is so easy.  After the laser eye surgery procedure, we have our patients keep their eyes closed for a few hours after lasik.  There is some mild burning and tearing which usually ends in about three hours.  We have our lasik patients use eye drops for about a week and that is about it.
