Is this the end of cataract surgery? A new eye drop designed to reverse cataracts is now in a placebo-controlled human trial in the United States, and patients are already asking whether they should cancel their surgery and wait.
Worried about picking the wrong lens for your cataract surgery?
You’re not alone, it’s the number one fear I hear in my office, and in this video I want to put your mind at ease and tell you exactly what your options are if things aren’t perfect.
If you’re trying to choose the best cataract lens 2026, I break down the real-world pros and cons of today’s top cataract lens options so you can match the right lens to your eyes, lifestyle, and budget.
Are you suffering from astigmatism issues and unsure what to do? In this video, Dr. Cohen goes over everything you should know. How can astigmatism influence one's vision? What are the symptoms? Why are annual eye exams so important?
Think LASIK is your answer after 40? There’s a better solution! In this video, I’ll walk you through Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE). Unlike LASIK, which reshapes the surface, RLE replaces your old lens with a state-of-the-art artificial one, giving you back both reading and distance vision.
