At Nightingale Eye Associates, located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, you’ll find a trusted team of board-certified ophthalmologists led by Dr. Jeffrey Nightingale—an expert in cataract and refractive surgery, including advanced femtosecond laser techniques. Backed by decades of experience, cutting-edge technology, and a patient-centric approach, our practice delivers precise, personalized eye care—from routine vision correction to complex surgical interventions—ensuring every patient enjoys the clearest, most comfortable vision possible.
Our services include:
Dr. Nightingale brings extensive refractive surgery expertise, including custom blade-free LASIK using advanced iDesign and Star S4 laser systems by Johnson & Johnson. Procedures are tailored to each patient using wavefront mapping, and if LASIK isn’t suitable, alternatives like PRK or refractive lens exchange are offered. Recovery is typically swift, with most patients resuming daily activities within 24–48 hours.
Our practice offers advanced cataract surgery, where the clouded natural lens is replaced with a high-quality intraocular lens (IOL). We use precision diagnostics like corneal topography, optical biometry, and macular imaging for optimal surgical planning. We also offer advanced femtosecond laser-assisted cataract extraction, providing enhanced speed, precision, and gentle treatment, particularly effective for addressing astigmatism and enabling quicker recovery.
Our glaucoma care focuses on early detection and preserving vision. We employ advanced diagnostic tools, such as optic nerve imaging and visual field testing. Treatment options include medicated eye drops, selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) – a safe, in-office laser procedure that can reduce or eliminate the need for drops and minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGS), often performed alongside cataract surgery for enhanced results and a quicker, gentler recovery.
Dry Eye Syndrome is effectively diagnosed and treated at our Upper West Side practice. Understanding the challenges such as burning, itching, redness, or light sensitivity, we personalize care strategies that may include artificial tears, prescription medications, lifestyle adjustments, and procedures designed to conserve or stimulate tear production. Regular eye exams and self-testing help guide optimal management.
Our comprehensive care extends to managing retinal conditions, including age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. While specific details are limited on the site, we emphasize early detection and tailored treatment plans, ensuring thorough attention from diagnosis through ongoing management.
