Services
Cataract Surgery
Our advanced cataract surgery utilizes premium intraocular lenses and minimally invasive techniques to restore clear vision. The procedure removes clouded natural lenses and replaces them with customized artificial lenses, improving visual acuity and reducing dependency on glasses. Our surgeons employ the latest phacoemulsification technology for faster recovery and optimal outcomes.
LASIK Correction
Custom LASIK procedures use blade-free IntraLase technology to reshape corneal tissue and correct refractive errors. This outpatient treatment addresses myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism through precise laser application, offering rapid visual recovery and long-term reduction in corrective eyewear dependence while maintaining corneal structural integrity.
Glaucoma Treatment
Comprehensive glaucoma management combines early detection through advanced diagnostic imaging with personalized treatment plans. We offer selective laser trabeculoplasty and microsurgical interventions to control intraocular pressure, prevent optic nerve damage, and preserve peripheral vision in both open-angle and angle-closure glaucoma cases.
Dry Eye Therapy
Our FDA-approved OptiLight IPL treatment addresses meibomian gland dysfunction using precise light pulses to reduce inflammation and improve tear film stability. This non-invasive protocol enhances oil production in eyelid glands, providing lasting relief from chronic dry eye symptoms through a series of short, comfortable sessions.
Retinal Exams
Advanced retinal imaging employs optical coherence tomography and fundus photography to detect macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal detachments. Our specialists perform comprehensive posterior segment evaluations using non-mydriatic cameras and fluorescein angiography to monitor retinal health and initiate timely interventions.

As soon as I took my patch off I saw the LIGHT! Thank you! dr GERSHANBAUM and team much appreciated! God bless you all Regards Maryann A

My mother is a patient there. She needed medication and it took 3 days for them to send the medicine to the pharmacy. They kept blaming the pharmacy, saying that they always drop the ball but I've been with that pharmacy for years and never had an issue. I kept having to call back and forth and had to push to escalate this just to get the medication. On my mom's last follow up there was a balance owed otherwise they would not let her see the doctor.
Her insurance covers everything 100%. The receptionist was less than helpful. I ended up calling them and explained the situation and the person I got on the phone said that it was done in error and that my mother can go see the doctor now. They still ended up sending us a bill! I called the billing office TWICE and left voicemails and no call back whatsoever. I made an appt for myself and tried to call to reschedule it, waited on hold as "caller number 2" for 40 minutes before I gave up and hung up. They're impossible to reach. Not impressed at all. Unfortunately they're the only ones who take Medicaid so we're stuck with them.

I have tried to be patient with this group since the office is such a short ride from my home however, I am going back to prior provider regardless of distance. I do not want to get as granular as to 'bash' any one particular provider (there are multiple doctors there) however, one experience I had was a procedure that was surgical in nature, was scheduled, the office cleared with my insurance however, I was never informed of any such appointment or procedure having been scheduled and was notified the 'day of' by phone as to why I didn't show up!
The issue I had with my eye had resolved itself and the procedure was not necessary at that point. The last time I went recently for annual eye exam and check up with doctor for glaucoma, there were 22 people in the waiting room. I waited 45 minutes there and then another 20 minutes waiting to see the doctor.

I would like to take the opportunity to give my sincere thanks to Claudia (Technician) who's kindness and professionalism was paramount in making my office visit an outstandingly wonderful experience. In what was obviously a very high paced, high volume, and exceptionally busy office, Claudia's kindness, assistance, and most profound knowledge and expertise were a breath of fresh air to a senior like myself who is appreciative of this level of quality service.

Was sent there by my Primary Care Physician with an emergency situation. The office was packed, but they still found time for me. Much appreciated!

I get a great feeling with the doctors and staff at Freehold Ophthalmolgy. Sometimes the wait is a little long, but it has gotten better recently. I especially like when Candace asks for my phone number and she calls you when they are ready to take you in for your exam. She has always been so curious and happy when you walk in the waiting room. Thank you everyone
