Many people are concerned with the fear of pain with cataract surgery. Remarkable, most patients feel no pain or discomfort. Dr. Jeffrey Martin and Dr. Larry Zweibel, both board certified surgeons at North Shore Eye Care in Smithtown New York on Long Island, perform advanced cataract surgery without painful injections, stitches, or even an eye patch. Patients get IV sedation to make them comfortable and then all that is needed for anesthesia is eye drops that numb the surface of the eye.

Patients are able to see right away and start their important eye drops right away.

What is the difference between ilasik and bladeless custom lasik. Dr. Jeffrey Martin of North Shore Eye Care in Smithtown New York on Long Island has been performing lasik for over 10 years and both Dr. Jeff Martin and Dr. Larry Zweibel are board certified eye surgeons and ophthalmologists. In the laser vision correction surgery, Dr. Martin and Dr. Zweibel perform only bladeless blade free Intralase flaps in the superficial layers of the cornea. Intralase is a laser that makes the thinnest, most precise and safest flaps possible in laser eye surgery. We then perform only custom Visx Customvue Waveprint Wavescan Wavemap lasik for precise and custom results. The laser automatically tracks and automatically centers during the lasik laser eye surgery procedure so that if a patient moves, the laser will automatically turn off. This gives all of our patients piece of mind. Ilasik is when you couple bladeless custom lasik with iris registration. With iris registration, the laser pinp
