| Why Us? 
Whether you’re a candidate for New York LASIK or you would be better suited for a non-laser procedure, you can be sure that Dr. Ilan Cohen and the 5th Avenue Eye Center will do everything we can to educate you about your options and identify the best procedure for your unique vision.
Unlike many other New York LASIK eye surgeons, one of our unique qualities is that we take the time to explain your options and do not try to force you into the most profitable surgery. This is why Dr. Ilan Cohen is known as the Doctor’s Doctor and frequently receives LASIK surgery referrals from other doctors, be-it their patients or even their own family members.
We welcome you to browse the many useful pages of information we have provided about LASIK eye surgery in New York. While we try to be as helpful as possible, there is no general answer for everyone and the only way to know if LASIK surgery is right for your unique vision is to schedule a LASIK consultation. If you have any questions at all, we welcome you to email us, call (212) 764-2020 or (866) 731-3937, or visit us in person.
