Life-Changing Experience with Dr. Ilan Cohen. I am just over two and a half weeks post-op from cataract surgery in my right eye, and I can confidently say that choosing Dr. Cohen was one of the best medical decisions I’ve ever made. Developing a cataract in my 40's was alarming, especially since it stemmed from a traumatic eye injury decades earlier. In my 20s, I was involved in a serious automobile accident as a passenger, during which the airbag deployed and caused a hematoma. Years later, that injury led to a premature cataract. Because of this history, my case carried higher risk—particularly concerning the zonules supporting the lens implant—which understandably made me nervous. From the very first consultation, Dr. Cohen put me completely at ease. His depth of knowledge, experience with complex cases, and calm, reassuring demeanor made it clear I was in exceptional hands. He explained everything thoroughly, answered every question with patience, and confidently reassured me that the procedure would go smoothly and he was absolutely right.

I had LASIK eye surgery with Dr. Cohen, and the experience was very positive overall. Dr. Cohen and his team were professional and thorough, explaining the procedure clearly and answering all of my questions. The surgery itself was quick, and I felt well cared for throughout the process. The recovery was straightforward, and within a short time, my vision significantly improved. It's such a relief not to rely on glasses or contacts anymore. Dr. Cohen and his team were attentive and efficient, and I felt confident in their expertise.

My LASIK journey began with thorough research to find a reputable surgeon, and that’s when I discovered Dr. Cohen and his exceptional team. From the very first consultation, I was impressed by their professionalism and dedication. The office staff was incredibly welcoming, ensuring I felt comfortable and well-informed at every step. Dr. Cohen conducted an in-depth eye examination, explaining the LASIK procedure in detail, including the potential risks and benefits. His transparency and willingness to answer all my questions gave me the confidence to proceed. On the day of the procedure, the entire team’s efficiency and coordination was remarkable. I was greeted warmly and guided through each preparatory step, which helped ease my nerves. Dr. Cohen’s calm demeanor and clear communication throughout the process was immensely reassuring. The surgery itself was surprisingly quick, lasting only about 15 minutes. The team made sure I was as comfortable as possible, and they even let me choose what music I wanted them to play during the procedure. After the surgery, I was given clear instructions for post-operative care, including a detailed schedule for using prescribed eye drops and attending follow-up appointments. Dr. Cohen’s team contacted me the evening of the surgery to check on my condition, which I deeply appreciated. Over the next few days, I noticed significant improvement in my vision, even though I was already able to see right out of surgery. Dr. Cohen’s expertise and the support of his outstanding team made my LASIK experience truly exceptional. Their attention to detail, personalized care, and commitment to patient satisfaction was evident at every stage.

My experience at the Cohen Eye Institute was fantastic. Check in was very easy and I didn't wait long at all to be called in the back.

Dr. Cohen is an absolute master in his field. He treats his patients with the utmost care and explains everything fully and calmly. The instructions of what you as the patient need to do before and after cataract surgery is so understandable and through. His staff is the absolute best, professional, well trained, and full of compassion for their patients. They even called the day after to see how you are doing. I would highly recommend Dr. Cohen. For he put me so at ease. So happy and so relieved.

I was diagnosed with cataracts about a year ago. After meeting with Dr. Ilan Cohen at his Manhattan office, I was thrilled to hear that the surgery to remove my cataracts would also fix my vision. I have been wearing thick, bifocal glasses and then contacts since the age of 3 and never imagined seeing clearly without them. Thank you, Dr. Cohen, for a successful surgery!

Dr. Cohen did a wonderful job with my eyes. I can see clearly and I’m enjoying the way everything looks. His staff is amazing and very professional. You are treated with respect and kindness. Great people!
