Dr. Ilan CohenMD

Dr. Cohen performs a wide range of surgical vision correction procedures. These include LASIK, All-Laser LASIK, PRK, SMILE, ICL, premium cataract surgery, refractive lens exchange, and clear lens exchange. He also treats keratoconus using his proprietary OZERA™ protocol and corrects astigmatism with his FAZE™ laser technique.

Dr. Cohen has performed more than 80,000 procedures throughout his surgical career. That volume includes surgeries for over 1,000 fellow physicians who chose him for their own eye care. His experience spans the full spectrum of laser vision correction and lens-based surgery.

RealSight™ is a proprietary technology Dr. Cohen developed for individualized IOL selection. It applies advanced imaging and patented algorithms to customize lens calculations for each cataract or lens exchange patient. The goal is to improve refractive accuracy and reduce the need for glasses after surgery.

OZERA™ is a multi-step keratoconus management protocol Dr. Cohen created. It combines corneal cross-linking, topographic mapping, and targeted corneal reshaping into a single coordinated treatment plan. Dr. Cohen developed OZERA™ to address keratoconus more comprehensively than standard cross-linking alone.

FAZE™ stands for Focused Astigmatic Zonal Enhancement. Dr. Cohen developed this specialized laser technique to correct astigmatism using topographic data for greater precision. It addresses irregular astigmatism patterns that standard laser treatments may not fully resolve.

Yes. Dr. Cohen completed fellowship training specifically in cataract and refractive surgery. He devotes 100% of his practice to surgical vision correction, which means every patient he sees comes for a procedure within this focused clinical scope.

Yes. Cohen Eye Institute accommodates out-of-town and international patients through virtual consultations and VIP concierge services. Dr. Cohen and his team can conduct an initial evaluation remotely before scheduling in-person surgery at one of the three locations.

Yes. Dr. Cohen treats keratoconus using his proprietary OZERA™ protocol. The approach combines corneal cross-linking, topography-guided reshaping, and careful sequencing to stabilize and, where possible, improve corneal shape. Patients with progressive keratoconus benefit most from early evaluation.
