May 31, 2023Dr 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.

August 7, 2022I started going to Dr Cohen after my regular eye doctor could no long get my eye pressure under control and was told I might need eye surgery. I went to Dr Cohen with an eye pressure of 32 to 34 that just would not come down with the use of 3 types of eye drops and even after having laser surgery. Dr Cohen took his time and explained about a surgery using something called a xen stent. The procedure was very pain free and no down time and no drops were needed at all in my left eye and I am going on 3 years eye drop free with a pressure of 15 to 17. The right eye was much worse. The xen stent only lasted a yr and then Dr Cohen added some sort of shunt to my right eye. Again no pain or down time. As of today my pressures remain steady about 17. I have to admit a was very afraid but Dr Cohen took the time to explain everything and reassure me it was not a difficult procedure. (He was so right) I have never found a Dr. to be more caring and so good at what at what he does. He saved my eyesight and got the pressure normal. Recently a family member asked me to move to FL with them, my response was I cant leave my Glaucoma doctor. If you do your research and read up on Dr. Cohen you will see the reason he is so dedicated to conquering this awful eye disease, is because his grandma suffered from it and it can be inherited All I can say is he really cares about his patience and getting the pressure down and saving vision. You will never find a Dr. this knowledgeable and who is constantly keeping up with the latest procedures coming out for glaucoma.

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!

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.
