About Cohn Eye Center
We are also proud to offer the most advanced technology available for patients with cataracts: bladeless laser cataract surgery. In conjunction with this technology, we offer specialty intraocular lens implants, such as the Toric and multifocal lenses, which can significantly decrease a patient’s dependence on glasses for driving, reading, or both.
When it comes to eye care, you want the very best. That means doctors who take great pride in offering every patient the absolute best in vision care. Here at the Cohn Eye Center, we dedicate ourselves to enhancing the quality of life for every individual we treat by helping each to see his or her best, and by preserving and protecting our patients’ vision and eye health throughout life.

We are committed to providing the highest standards of comprehensive eye care.
