LASIK Surgery
LASIK surgery at Northern New Jersey Eye Institute permanently corrects vision impairments like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Using advanced laser technology, our experienced surgeons reshape the cornea to eliminate dependency on glasses or contacts. Patients benefit from personalized consultations to determine candidacy and achieve optimal visual outcomes through this safe, FDA-approved procedure.
Cataract Surgery
Our minimally invasive cataract surgery removes clouded lenses and replaces them with premium intraocular implants. Offering multifocal and accommodative lens options, we restore clear vision while addressing presbyopia. The rapid-recovery procedure uses no needles or stitches, with most patients experiencing improved vision within 24 hours.
Glaucoma Treatment
Comprehensive glaucoma care includes early detection through advanced diagnostics and personalized treatment plans. We employ medicated eye drops, laser therapy, and microsurgical interventions to control intraocular pressure and prevent optic nerve damage, preserving vision for long-term ocular health.
Macular Degeneration
Specialized treatment for age-related macular degeneration combines diagnostic imaging with targeted interventions. Our team offers anti-VEGF injections and laser therapies to slow disease progression, while providing low-vision aids and lifestyle guidance to maintain quality of life for patients with advanced AMD.
Cornea Treatment
We diagnose and manage corneal conditions ranging from dry eye to keratoconus. Treatment options include specialty contact lenses, corneal cross-linking, and transplant procedures using the latest DMEK/DSEK techniques. Our specialists provide comprehensive care for infections, dystrophies, and traumatic injuries affecting the cornea.

I found the staff very professional with the exception of billing. I go to them every year. My insurance changed when I retired. I've used this insurance since 2020. Why then, if you had insurance issues for me, did you not call? And when I call you.attitude. Not acceptable or respectful.
