Being a professional artist I have always been careful of my eyes and hands. I was scared to death when I started to develop cataracts. I now see better than I did when younger. Dr. Cohen and his staff were wonderful through the whole process. Don't be afraid of the surgery if you need it. You're in good hands.

June 7, 2020After reading about Dr. Cohen's history, I was immediately touched about the story of his grandmother losing her site to glaucoma and that he dedicated his life's work to helping others with this disease. I had several successful procedures and am happy to have found a talented doctor with an exceptional bedside manner. He immediately gave me the feeling that he cared and would do whatever necessary to preserve my sight. Although for me it is a quite a trip to get to his office, it is worth every mile. His staff also go out of their way to ensure you are comfortable and have all your questions answered. I feel blessed to have found Dr. Cohen and would recommend him to anyone.

Dr Cohen is the best eye doctor in the state of New Jersey! He is an amazing surgeon and a wonderful human being. I had a serious issue with my vision that required cataract and glaucoma surgery. I had a great outcome that was life changing. He gave me several options for treatment. I did not feel rushed when he presented these options. I strongly recommend him!

Having 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.

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.
