    Dr. Cohen is the most thoughtful and respectful doctor I have ever met. He is treating my eye related problems and has given great advice about relevant management. He also surgically treated my husband's cataracts, and my husband is also very satisfied with the care and service Dr. Cohen offers. I would recommend Dr. Cohen to everyone seeking an opthalmologist.

  • 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.

    Dr. Cohen is absolutely an amazing doctor! My dad, who only has sight in one eye, had cataract surgery and Dr. Cohen took great care and had genuine concern for him. I would definitely recommend Dr. Cohen to anyone who is thinking about cataract surgery!

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.
