New York's 5th Avenue Eye Center is a first-rate provider of safe, reliable and accurate vision correction procedures and surgeries. The Center is headed by Dr. Ilan Cohen, a nationally-recognized eye surgeon with years of experience performing an impressive range of vision correction procedures, from LASIK treatments to cataract surgery. Dr. Cohen and his staff at the 5th Avenue Eye Center rely on the latest in lens and surgical technology to guarantee their customers receive the safest and most accurate vision correction procedures around.
LASIK, or laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis, is an operation that reshapes the cornea of the eye to mitigate or solve outright vision deficiencies such as farsightedness, myopia, astigmatism or hyperopia. Though LASIK surgery has become extremely popular nationwide, the experts at 5th Avenue Eye Center follow a strict policy of evaluating LASIK surgery candidates on a case-by-case basis -- LASIK is not for everyone, and unlike other LASIK providers, the 5th Avenue Eye Center will not charge you for a procedure you may not need.
Please visit the 5th Avenue Center Eye Center's homepage, www.WorldClassLasik.com, to learn more about the Center's services or to schedule an appointment with Dr. Cohen.
