Our Mission
Our goal is to provide you with the sharpest vision possible while limiting risks to the absolute minimum. This goal cannot be accomplished by offering the same procedure to everyone. Most people know about LASIK and cataract surgery. But few know the benefits of Refractive Lens Exchange, EVO ICL, Topography-guided LASIK, SMILE, and other procedures for vision correction or restoration. For example, you might be interested in LASIK but did you know that LASIK cannot restore reading vision?
If you are over 45, Refractive Lens Exchange is the only procedure that could restore both distance and near vision for patients older than 45.
Dr. ILAN COHEN is a fellowship-trained cornea specialist and has devoted his career to fine-tuning and perfecting surgical techniques that can change your vision and your life. This is perhaps the reason that more than 1000 physicians have chosen him for the correction of their own vision.
Whether you are looking for freedom from glasses or have a cataract, our exceptional team of doctors will help you make the best decision.
Our comprehensive screening exam will gather detailed data about your eyes, goals, and other relevant health factors. We will then recommend to you the procedure that will best match your unique eyes.

Patients Testimonials
Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking (CXL)
Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking or CXL is a relatively new procedure that offers hope to patients with keratoconus or with keratoectasia. These conditions affect the front part of the eye called the cornea.
If you have been diagnosed with one of these conditions you may be a candidate for CXL. This procedure is a short procedure that strengthens the links between the collagen fibers in the cornea. As a result, it can stop the progression of or even partially reverse keratoconus and keratoectasia. Some patients may follow this procedure with Topography-Guided PRK in order to improve their vision further and regain their sight.
As a cornea specialist that has extensive experience with these conditions, Dr. Cohen is uniquely qualified to perform it.
