Dr Cohen is the best! He has been treating my grandmother for almost 8 years. A different glaucoma doctor had a poor outcome and Dr Cohen saved her eye! Now her eye pressure is good and she no longer needs eye drops!

June 7, 2020I 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!

Dr Cohen is a highly knowledgeable and caring Doctor. I came to his office at 5 pm with an urgent matter- he stayed extra 2 hours until I was fine to leave. His staff is professional and pleasant at the same time. His equipment is top of the line!! Highly recommend him.

June 7, 2021Having suffered many years with very high eye pressure and becoming uncontrollable along with developing cataracts, I was referred to Dr. Cohen. With that being said, I am ever so grateful for that recommendation. Dr. Cohen’s expertise as a glaucoma and cataract specialist, is what I need to set my mind at ease for my future eyesight. From my initial visit, I knew I was in good hands with an ophthalmologist/surgeon who is by far the most knowledgeable, compassionate and caring. Dr. Cohen prioritized my best interest and concerns, which resulted in a XEN Gel Stent, which has eliminated my use of eye drops daily. Cataract surgery which has enhanced my vision to be clearer and sharper. Words cannot express how grateful and happy I am with the outcome of my vision. I highly recommend Dr. Cohen at Glaucoma & Cataract Center of New Jersey and his staff who are equally caring.

Dr Cohen did surgery on my mother’s eyes 6 years ago and he saved her eyes. I took her back three weeks ago because she was having problem with her left eye and her eye doctor sent her to Dr Cohen. This doctor bedside manners are the best I have seen. He has a way of calming you down. He takes time to talk to the patient and explain everything. I thank God for him. My mother said “I wish I could take him home with me”.

June 7, 2021Cataract Surgery/Multi Focal Lenses Dr. Cohen is extremely knowledgeable, understanding, pleasant and skilled. Having my cataracts removed and multi-focal lenses implanted was one of the best decisions I've made and, I am beyond happy with Dr. Cohen. The office staff is very accommodating, pleasant and easy to work with. Without hesitation I would recommend Dr. Cohen!!

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.
