Cataract 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!!

November 7, 2022Dr.Cohen is a very caring and thorough doctor. He saved my eyesight during the height of the covid pandemic .My eye pressure was ridiculously high. He scheduled surgery and has kept very close observation of my progress. My eye pressure has been stable for 2 years. I couldn't be more grateful .

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, 2020Dr 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”.

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.
