Your Trusted Partner for Advanced Eye Care Solutions
At Kung Eye, we have dedicated ourselves to advancing eye care since performing our first LASIK procedure shortly after FDA approval in 1995. Our founder, Dr. John S. Kung, played a pivotal role in developing laser eye correction technology while training at Columbia University and has since invented widely used surgical instruments. We combine decades of expertise with cutting-edge technology to deliver personalized vision solutions, including cataract surgery, refractive lens exchange, and corneal cross-linking. Our team of board-certified ophthalmologists and optometrists prioritizes patient education, offering complimentary consultations to address individual needs.With locations in Staten Island, NY, and East Brunswick, NJ, we are committed to lifelong eye care, serving patients from their initial visit through long-term follow-up. Our practice emphasizes precision, innovation, and compassionate care, ensuring each patient receives informed recommendations and expertly performed treatments tailored to their unique vision goals.

Bladeless LASIK
Bladeless LASIK uses femtosecond laser technology to create precise corneal flaps for vision correction. This advanced technique reduces mechanical complications while improving accuracy for patients with myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism. The procedure reshapes corneal tissue using excimer laser ablation, offering rapid visual recovery and enhanced safety compared to traditional microkeratome blades.
Cataract Surgery
We perform laser-assisted cataract removal with premium intraocular lens implantation. Our surgeons use advanced 3D imaging for customized incisions, ensuring optimal visual outcomes. Patients can choose from multifocal, toric, or light-adjustable lenses to reduce dependence on glasses post-surgery while addressing astigmatism and presbyopia.
Corneal Cross-Linking
This minimally invasive procedure strengthens corneal tissue using riboflavin and ultraviolet light. Designed for progressive keratoconus patients, it halts corneal thinning and irregularity without requiring full-thickness transplants. The treatment stabilizes vision while reducing the need for future surgical interventions in appropriate candidates.
Refractive Lens Exchange
Refractive lens exchange replaces the natural lens with premium implants to correct severe refractive errors. Similar to cataract surgery but performed on clear lenses, this procedure addresses extreme myopia, hyperopia, and presbyopia using advanced intraocular lens technology for long-term vision correction.
Light Adjustable Lens
This innovative intraocular lens allows post-operative vision adjustments using UV light. Patients receive personalized refinements after healing, achieving optimized visual acuity for distance, near, or blended vision without additional surgery, offering superior precision compared to conventional implants.
