Dr Cohen was calm and thorough explaining to me my eye issue. He performed a procedure on both eyes. Everything was exactly as he explained! He spent significant time with me and I really appreciate it! I am very happy

June 7, 2020I want to thank Dr. Amir Cohen for saving my vision - yes I said saving my vision. At a very low point in the health of my eyes a close friend recommended I see Dr. Cohen. Without going into too much detail I want anyone needing a Glaucoma Specialist to know that since being under Dr. Cohen’s care the condition of my eyes health has improved beyond my wildest dream. When I first saw him I had a dried out and shriveled Cornea which was causing severe pain and high eye pressure. Dr. Cohen performed surgery on my left eye which has lowered the pressure substantially and prescribed eye drops for both eyes to normalize the pressure. I now have pressure in both eyes that is exactly where it needs to be to maintain my vision. I can’t thank Dr. Cohen enough and I highly recommend him.

I was referred to Dr Cohen.by my ophthalmologist for my glaucoma and cataract. I had post shingle nerve pain in that eye and was very concerned about the surgery. My cataract was also quite dense and I was afraid but it turned out very well. Dr. Cohen performed the Ahmed valve surgery first and it was a complete success. I had to call him at home the day after as I had questions, and he was so nice and explained everything to me. In the past I had a doctor chastise me for calling his service on a weekend. Not Dr. Cohen; he is a true professional who cares about his patients. His staff has always been polite, as well. I highly recommend Dr. Cohen for his skill and compassion.

I have been a patient of Dr. Cohen for just about a year. I was fortunate to have been referred to him by my Ophthalmologist to treat me for early-onset Glaucoma. I am a 50-year-old man who, unfortunately, has been plagued with several other medical conditions in addition to the Glaucoma. Dr. Cohen tried treating me first with non-surgical methods; however, they were not successful, before, during, and after surgery, Dr. Cohen was amazing. Dr. Cohen is one of the most compassionate and caring doctors you will ever find, and I have seen my fair share of specialists. Dr. Cohen takes his time; you never feel rushed he explains and makes sure you are entirely comfortable with everything that Is happening. My case was severe due to my other conditions, but Dr. Cohen never gave up; Dr. Cohen was always there, educating, and calming me. He saved my sight, and I will always be grateful to him. I could not have found a better Dr., no matter how far I traveled!

June 7, 2021Dr. Cohen is the most thoughtful and respectful doctor I have ever met. He is treating my eye related problems and has given great advice about relevant management. He also surgically treated my husband's cataracts, and my husband is also very satisfied with the care and service Dr. Cohen offers. I would recommend Dr. Cohen to everyone seeking an opthalmologist.

FAQs
Are you looking to learn more about glaucoma or cataracts? Here are answers to some of the questions that patients frequently ask at the Glaucoma & Cataract Center of New Jersey. Content is provided for informational purposes only, and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Glaucoma
What is glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a condition where the nerve that sends images from the eye to the brain is damaged. It is usually caused by high eye pressure and can lead to vision loss. Glaucoma is sometimes referred to as the “silent thief” because it can gradually steal a person’s vision without pain or symptoms.
Fortunately, we can test for glaucoma in our Livingston, NJ office. With regular eye exams, early detection, and proper medical care, you can preserve your sight and prevent vision loss.
Cataracts
What is a cataract?
A cataract is the clouding of the normally clear lens of the eye. Individuals with cataracts complain of blurred or decreased vision.
