Cohen Eye Institute

Dr. Ilan Cohen is a BRILLIANT eye surgeon!!! I did not consider any other surgeon to perform my cataract surgery. I will be forever grateful to him for restoring clear vision in my traumatized eye necessitating a very complicated and complex surgery due to forcefully being hit with a batted ball as I was pitching during a Wiffleball game in my PE class. The pitched ball was forcibly struck hitting my eye directly on a line drive from a very close range distance of 12-ft away, resulting in a torn iris and a complete dislocation of my lens. Dr. Cohen masterfully was able to remove the dislocated lens. Previous to my surgery, I was frustratingly unable to see anything other than shapes out of my eye.

I will be recommending Dr. Cohen to anyone in need of a skillful eye surgeon to perform their cataract or any other type of eye surgery that he specializes in. Thank you so...

During my consultation with Dr.Cohen, I mentioned I wanted to be glasses free. He recommended EnVista Envy for my right eye and Clareon Vivity lens for my left eye. I had the procedures three weeks apart in March of 2026. About five months later I can report I’m very happy with the choice to use those lens. I no longer need reading glasses, even for small print. My distance vision is great also. There are halos or rings around lights at night, but I’ve gotten used to them. I don’t drive much, but I don’t believe they would be a problem. For me it’s well worth the trade-off of no longer needing glasses at all. Thank you, Dr. Cohen.

Was smooth painless thanks!

It took me a year to find Dr. Cohen after a few consults in my state of NC. I came across his YouTube channel and it was very informative. So, I scheduled a zoom consult and Dr. Cohen upfront prescribed me two eye drops (Xiidra & Meibo) to help my dry eye and improve my cataract surgery experience. The drops were extremely helpful and the surgery went well. Dr. Cohen takes time to understand the patient's condition and lifestyle to help recommend the lens that is best fit. He also double checks eye measurements. The eye surgeons in NC do not answer questions, do not ask about your lifestyle and are pretty much stuck in the conventional cataract surgery using mono-focal lenses. Dr. Cohen is a progressive surgeon and goes the extra mile to perfect the cataract procedure for better outcomes. He has the lowest infection rate in the US and the highest patient satisfaction record. Dr....

Second surgery have extreme dry eye, while first surgery had no dry eye. 2 days after stll red and swollen. Still blurry vision, it's bad. First eye saw 20/20 day after and was clear with no redness or swelling. Second eye did not port well with laser and was very uncomfortable. Lots of pressure. My eye felt like it got punched. Look forward to it clearing up so I can see.

Excellent. Gabby the surgery coordinator is so kind and helping.

It’s been two full days since my surgery and my eye is much better – still slightly blurry, however, I know that that will clean up in the next couple days – it was a simple quick surgery and I have the utmost faith in Dr. Cohen – thanks for everything!

Excellent so far.

I found out Cole to be very thorough and pleasant. There was a bit of a long wait time for my actual appointment when I got to see Dr. Cohen but again I would have to say that the experience was very pleasant and informative. Dr. Collins representative Gabrielle Perez Never contacted me to give me pricing information however. Thus far, I don’t know what Dr. Cohen services it would cost.

I plan to call her this afternoon to try to resolve this matter


Overall, I like Dr. Cohen very much. I also enjoyed interacting with Dr. Patel who is his assistant Ophthalmologist. She was very thoughtful and insightful.

(Translated by Google) Everything was almost perfect except for the person who calls to schedule the surgery. They were not friendly or helpful with customer service. For those of us who speak Spanish, it was difficult because they don't have anyone who speaks Spanish.

Todo fue casi perfecto excepto por la persona q llama para el horario de la cirugia.nada de amable ni servicio al cliente .para los que hablamos español fue dificil pues no tienen nadie en español

Incredible LASIK results, quick recovery, caring service from initial inquiry to post-operation!

From initial consultation to Day of surgery everyone who treated me was polite and Professional. I am pleased with results so far and I can't wait to have my other eye done. Only complaint would be that they did not have my implant at the surgical center.Had to wait extra 2hours till someone delivered from another location. If it wasn't for this issue I would have given 5 stars.

Hello, this is Victoria Kinge. I want to say that I had an amazing experience with Dr. Cohen and his outstanding team. From my initial visit to the office to my first cataract surgery, I have received the upmost care, patience, consideration, expertise, knowledgeable, and the utmost exceptional quality of medical care. At first I was very apprehensive, but your team and Dr. Cohen made me feel at ease and assured me that I was going to have a smooth experience. Looking forward to my second surgery. Absolutely amazing. I already am recommending Dr. Cohen to my friends and family. I am blessed to know you, Dr. Cohen and your team of experts. God bless you all.

Everyone I met at the Institute was friendly and professional. From my first visit I felt comfortable and well cared for. The surgery center as well was efficient and professional.

I went there for my cataract surgery, but now I will be going there for my regular eye care as well.

I had a consult with Dr. Cohen and his team for EVO ICL and was really impressed. The exams were thorough and the whole workflow was seamless every step of the way, which made me feel confident going in. Great experience overall- I'd highly recommend this team to anyone considering ICL or an eye surgery. I had a very successful ICL surgery and very happy with the results! Thank you Dr. Cohen!

Thank you and your team for checking on me. Doing well and no symptoms of dry eye. The NJ office assisted in referring me to the retinal institute here in NC to evaluate the macular pucker. Earliest appointment was August 19th with Dr. Farr. He asked to send over any records you have.
Great experience. You answered questions and are sincere in your work. I will recommend you to others .

The entire staff was extremely professional and efficient

I’m extremely pleased with the outcome of my cataract surgery. After 2 days my vision is clearer than it’s been in years.

I couldn't be happier with my experience with Dr. Cohen and his team. After wearing glasses for 54 years, I never imagined I might not need them for almost anything after cataract surgery. The results have been unbelievable and truly life-changing.
I consulted with three other surgeons before choosing Dr. Cohen. because of his experience, and I'm so glad I did. The entire process was smooth, professional, and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Dr. Cohen to anyone considering cataract surgery.
