LASIK, Cataract Surgery and Presbyopia Correction in Manhattan, NYC
Every year, New York City LASIK surgery specialists help thousands of Manhattan area patients eliminate their dependence on glasses and contact lenses. Recent advancements in custom LASIK surgery, as well as other types of advanced eye procedures such as PRK and LASEK produce vision correction outcomes that often lead to 20/20 vision or better for most New York City patients. And modifications of LASIK and other laser eye surgery procedures now can correct presbyopia, reducing or eliminating the need for reading glasses for patients over age 40. (Presbyopia is the normal age-related loss of reading vision in middle age.) Your surgeon can explain all aspects of laser vision correction, including cost of LASIK surgery.
Top Cataract Surgery Specialists in New York City (Manhattan)
A number of top New York (NYC) LASIK surgeons are also trained cataract specialists who utilize their fine-tuned surgical skills and extensive experience to restore cloudy vision caused by cataracts. Modern refractive cataract surgery has the dual purpose of restoring vision by cataract extraction and reducing or eliminating the need for glasses after surgery by implanting premium intraocular lenses (IOLs) that correct presbyopia as well as nearsightedness or farsightedness. Examples of these presbyopia-correcting IOLs used by top New York City cataract surgeons include Crystalens accommodating IOLs and ReSTOR, Tenis and ReZoom multifocal IOLs. For New York City refractive surgery patients who do not have cataracts but desire vision correction because of refractive errors and presbyopia, a similar type of lens implant surgery may be used to correct vision at all distances. This advanced procedure is known as refractive lens exchange (RLE).
