I don’t typically write reviews, but this is one review that is very important to me given the successful and life changing surgery I received from Dr. Cohen. I was diagnosed with glaucoma at 35, I am now 63. I have been seeing the same ophthalmologist all these years but over time the glaucoma drops were not reducing the eye pressure to an acceptable level. I also developed cataracts that needed to be addressed. My ophthalmologist suggested I see Dr. Cohen. From the moment I stepped into Dr. Cohen’s office I felt comfortable with the very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Dr. Cohen explained all the options available and took all the time I needed to answer my many questions. Dr. Cohen advised to due a combined cataract surgery and eye stents surgery to reduce the pressure in both eyes. The result is excellent vision, and lower pressure. No more glasses, or contacts which is life changing for me! I can not say enough how happy I am with the surgery and its results. I would highly recommend Dr. Cohen. Thank you Dr. Cohen for my life changing results!

June 7, 2022Dr 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!

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”.

April 7, 2023I 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.

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.
