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, 2020Having 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.

I 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.

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.

June 7, 2020I was pretty nervous when I saw Dr. Cohen for the first time and he told me I need to have cataracts removed in both eyes. And he would insert lenses to replace my coke bottle glasses. I had been struggling with my vision over the past few years. Working on a computer every day was getting harder and harder. I had my work arounds but I got tired of hearing myself say, “what does that say”, “I can’t see it”. Watching a movie with subtitles was exhausting. Dr. Cohen put my mind at ease right away and talked me through what he was going to do making sure I understood exactly what was about to happen. I am a living miracle! Before the reading eye chart was so sad but now I can read the eye chart from across the room. Down to pretty small print. Because I was so myopic I will still need readers for reading labels and tiny print up close. I can see my computer screens perfectly. Thanks to Dr. Cohen’s talent and skill I came through the procedures on both eyes with flying colors. No pain during the operation and minimal discomfort afterward. Don’t be afraid, you are in good hands. Shout out to the office team for their help and kindness!

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.
