Dr. Cohen did not seem concerned and replied " Just use artificial tears drops" Dr. Cohen gave me a new prescription for glasses, which were ready 7 days later. When I put them on I was STILL unable to see clearly. After several days of hoping my eyes would adjust to the new prescription from Dr. Cohen - I still struggled to see. I decided to see another optometrist, who advised the script (by Dr. Cohen) was incorrect for my eyes, they were too powerful. Also I had an inflammation on the cornea's, I was instructed to stop using the artificial tears and to go see a cornea specialist ASAP. Which I have done and have been diagnosed with and infection in my eyelids (Blepharitis) and inflammation of the cornea (Keratits). The failure to identify this condition by Dr. Cohen could have cost me my vision. I am extremely lucky to have gotten a second option by a more knowlegable & competent optometrist.

  Stephanie A. asked:

  Can anyone please recommend a pediatric ophthalmologist? I just walked out of dr Doyle's office because his staff is so god damn rude!!!

  I've been working with Dr. Howard Cohen in Franklin Square for 25 years. He is exceptional with both adults and, especially children. A kind, patient man. If your child is over 6 years old and needs just a routine examination, Dr. Cohen is perfect. If your child needs to be seen for a special reason by a pediatric ophthalmologist, Dr. Kronwith has been around a long time. "Bedside" manner aside, you want the brains that go with experience and a good diagnostic opinion. If you'd like to see Dr. Cohen, his number is 354-2542 in Franklin Square. Hope this helps!
