About Dr. Ilan Cohen

Dr. Cohen, a board-certified ophthalmologist, performed the first implantable contact lens procedure (ICL) in the tri-state area. ICLs serve as a LASIK alternative for patients with high myopia (extreme nearsightedness). He was featured on both Fox and ABC news. He also restored sight to a legally blind man who hadn't seen out of one eye for decades. Additionally, he performed the first artificial cornea procedure for end-stage corneal disease in the tri-state area, which earned him a feature on CBS news. Dr. Cohen developed his own sutureless technique for pterygium excision with a limbal stem cell allograft using tissue glue, helping numerous patients find relief from these troublesome growths. With more than twenty years of experience and dual-fellowship credentials, Dr. Cohen has performed thousands of successful procedures. He is one of the most experienced eye surgeons in the nation and a recognized authority on laser eye surgery technology. Dr. Cohen has spent years researching and analyzing visual outcomes to determine which techniques are safest and provide the best results for patients. He is highly skilled in LASIK eye surgery (multiple varieties), cataract surgery (including the safer and more precise laser surgery), corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) to treat keratoconus, implantable contact lenses (ICL), and glaucoma treatments including laser surgery. Dr. Cohen earned his Doctor of Medicine from Tufts University. He completed his residency in ophthalmology at Catholic Medical Center of Brooklyn and Queens and pursued a fellowship in ophthalmology at Vanderbilt University.
