Meet Dr. Cohen, a board-certified optometrist whose journey began in South Africa, where he graduated in 1993. He practiced there for five years, even co-owning a renowned optometric retail chain.
In 1997, he emigrated to Boston, MA, to complete an Advanced Standing International Program, where he graduated from the New England College of Optometry in 1999. After this, Dr. Cohen moved to Atlanta and opened his first location in 2002 before expanding with a second in Brookhaven in 2011.
He specializes in ocular disease and custom contact lenses and practices medical optometry at the highest level. All his practices have state-of-the-art ophthalmic imaging technology to maximize the early diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, and cataracts.
Dr. Cohen's approach extends beyond the realm of his practice. He also collaborates with primary care physicians and ophthalmologists to offer a multidisciplinary approach to eye care. His reputation as a curator of designer frames is shown by his high-end optical, where you can find fashion-forward eyewear from top brands and his very own eyewear line.
His consultancy roles with industry giants like Ciba Vision, Bausch and Lomb, Synergeyes, and WAVE contact lens companies attest to his authority in optometry. He is also engaged in clinical trials for groundbreaking contact lens designs and created his orthokeratology technique for myopia control called SightSleep™.
He frequently speaks at the annual Vision By Design specialty contact lens conferences. He is one of the few eye doctors in the country who successfully fits overnight corrective lenses for hyperopia/presbyopia and myopia control and lectures extensively on this topic.
He has regularly appeared on local TV stations to explain new eye equipment technology or contact lens fitting techniques. Dr. Cohen currently serves on the Board of Directors at Prevent Blindness Georgia.
Beyond his professional endeavors, Dr. Cohen finds joy in living in Atlanta with his wife and three children, where he enjoys wildlife photography, boating, fishing, and golf.
