CNY Eye Care

"I've been seeing white flashes in my eye for a week, went to general practitioners they gave me a referral to CNY Eye Care......no appointment available! What! I could be losing my eyesight and there's no appointment? 1 hr later another eye specialist has me scheduled at 130...feels i can't wait any longer!."

"I highly recommend Dr. Weinstein- … I was referred to Dr.Wiesenthal for my complicated cataract procedure-I had RK done over a decade ago so my cornea is compromised and I have glaucoma. I took appointment with Dr. Weinstein who apparently just started in this practice and was a little skeptical… (he’s young) wow was I wrong! He was outstanding and knew how to treat my issues! My vision is great and my eye pressure has decreased. I am thrilled and very grateful!!"

"I did a self referral to Dr, Weisenthal for evaluation after being diagnosed with bilateral cataracts and was seen very quickly. At my first appointment a very comprehensive history was taken, multiple tests was done and I had a very thorough exam by Dr. Weisenthal. My Cataract diagnosis was confirmed and a plan of care was decided upon. I had cataract surgery on my left eye on 4/27 and on my right eye 5/11. I received very complete verbal and written instructions for all aspects of my surgery and subsequent follow-up eye care. Everyone in the Dewitt office and at the surgical center in Camillus was friendly, professional and provided information and guidance throughout the entire process. I have had excellent results in both eyes, and thank everyone involved. I highly recommend the CNY Eye Care, and in particular Dr. Weisenthal, for meeting your eye care needs."

"I had LASIK eye surgery with Dr. Weisenthal and it was one of the best things I have ever done. I’m in the medical field & extremely anxious but Casey walked me through every detail & answered all my questions. (There were a lot of them.) The two of them together make an incredible team. Competence and compassion. Huge thank you to Dr. W for my successful procedure and Casey for being so amazing through the entire process. Really appreciate you both."

"Two years ago, on my way to getting cataracts replaced, I was diagnosed with severe Fuchs Corneal Dystrophy in both eyes. Left untreated, this would ultimately lead to total blindness. The typical surgical alternatives involve either replacement of the cornea, or more recently inserting a layer of epithelial tissue. Fortunately, I was referred to an incredibly talented corneal surgeon, Dr. Robert Weisenthal , in Dewitt, NY. After a thorough examination he offered me a new, recently available surgical procedure called Descemet Stripping Only (DSO for short). This DSO would be done just prior to removing the cataract and inserting the new lens. The whole process would take only 30 minutes, but the recovery of full vision would likely be a slow process, taking 2 to 3 months. Dr. Weisenthal said that the best vision I could achieve with DSO might only be 20/45. However, the classic alternative would leave me needing steroidal drops for the rest of my life and carried the risk that the transplant could be rejected. So, it was a pretty easy decision to choose this new DSO procedure. I had my left eye done in September 2019, and then my right eye was done July 2020. I went in for a routine progress check on September 29, 2020 and was very pleased to learn that my left eye is now 20/25 and my right eye is 20/30. As I write this, I still need glasses for reading to correct mild astigmatism. Without glasses I can look out the window and enjoy vision as good as I ever remember having. I’m able to drive without glasses! To say that I’m happy that I took this chance would be a huge understatement. I feel very lucky and thankful that I was referred to Dr. Weisenthal. If anyone finds themselves in this situation, I’d be happy to send the info that I researched, and answer any questions."
