Services
Cataract Surgery
Cataract Surgery removes the clouded natural lens and replaces it with a premium intraocular lens tailored to your eye health and lifestyle. We perform this procedure using femtosecond laser technology for faster healing, greater precision, and reduced complications. Patients experience clearer vision and a quicker return to daily activities.
LASIK
LASIK corrects common refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism with a bladefree excimer laser. Our CustomVue system creates a precise corneal flap with the IntraLase femtosecond laser, ensuring safety and customization for each patient. The result is a rapid visual recovery and the ability to live without glasses or contacts.
Cornea Treatments
Cornea Treatments address conditions that affect the corneas shape and transparency, including keratoconus and pterygium. We employ advanced surgical techniques and laser therapies to reshape or protect the cornea, restoring sharp vision and reducing glare. Patients benefit from minimally invasive procedures and personalized postoperative care.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma services involve early detection and longterm management of eye pressure to preserve optic nerve health. We use stateoftheart imaging and medication protocols to monitor and reduce intraocular pressure safely. Patients receive individualized treatment plans and ongoing support to maintain vision and quality of life.
Oculoplastics
Oculoplastics offers cosmetic and functional eyelid and eye area procedures, such as blepharoplasty, Botox, and dermal fillers like Juvederm and Restylane. We perform these treatments with precision to improve appearance, relieve eye strain, and correct anatomical issues. Patients experience enhanced facial aesthetics and better ocular comfort after recovery.

What an overall excellent experience. I called hoping to get an appointment as soon as possible because of an eye injury. I was in the office within the hour! The front desk team are all professional, friendly and efficient. The technicians always make me feel comfortable and relaxed. I haven't had many experiences with compassionate doctors. After my first visit with Dr. Kunal Merchant I felt his compassion and it was very refreshing. Dr. Kunal Merchant is empathetic to his patients and an expert in his field, I trust being in his care one hundred percent. I would highly, highly recommend Eye Care Associates of NJ in Glen Rock.

Normally I don't write reviews, but I was referred to this practice by my friend who had lasik done with Dr. Merchant. She was so happy with her experience that when I had an emergency scratched cornea, I went to Dr. Merchant without hesitation. They got me in right away, took my insurance, and completely cured my eye in 3 visits. The staff was so caring and helped me feel calm when I was in so much pain. Thank you Dr. Merchant!

I am A patient of Dr Adam Fiend and I recently had eye surgery. Dr Friend and his staff were wonderful to me during a very stressful time before and after my surgery. I love the new location and state of the art equipment. The office is run efficiently and with a short wait time. The staff is also very patient and addressed all my concerns. I would highly recommend Eye Care Assoc. to everyone, my surgery went extremely well and it was all due to Dr Friend and his staff.
