KERATOCONUS
Breakthrough Technology for Keratoconus Now Available

A lot has changed since 1983 when I first started fitting contact lenses for keratoconus. While rigid contact lenses still have a prominent place, there are many new designs and materials available for my patients. Hybrid lenses (part rigid, part soft), most notably the ClearKone and UltraHealth, have provided remarkable comfort and vision for many. Custom soft lenses, especially the KeraSoft, have been a pleasant surprise, offering some of my "cone" patients a soft lens option. Scleral lenses and other larger designs are also finding their place in today's modern practice.
I fit these contacts directly from my inventory so that my patients can experience the feel and vision of these newer lenses on their first visit. This allows me to then custom order the best prescription from the patient's experience. I also work with post-surgical corneas (transplants, Intacs, collagen cross-linking) with excellent results. Those with corneal ectasia from refractive surgery and pellucid marginal degeneration are also among my patients.
Dr. Roy B. Cohen, O.D. earned his Doctor of Optometry from the State University of New York in 1983 and has been in private group practice since then at his present location. He is a member of the American Optometric Association, the Optometric Society of the City of New York, and an industry consultant to contact lens manufacturers. Dr. Cohen has been privileged to fit hundreds of keratoconics, some who have become life-long patients. If you are struggling with keratoconus or just want to see if there are better options for you, Dr. Cohen would like the opportunity to meet with you.
