Richard Cohn evaluates and treats glaucoma, cataracts, dry eyes, diabetic eye disease, and macular degeneration, in addition to other general ophthalmic services. We are also proud to offer the most advanced technology available for patients with cataracts: bladeless laser cataract surgery. In conjunction with this technology, we offer specialty intraocular lens implants, such as the Toric and multifocal lenses, which can significantly decrease a patient's dependence on glasses for driving, reading, or both.
Richard Cohn, M.D. is a board-certified ophthalmologist who is fellowship trained as a glaucoma specialist. Additionally, he specializes in state-of-the-art laser no-stitch cataract surgery and is highly regarded as one of the most skilled cataract surgeons in Central Florida. After graduating with honors from Tufts University in Boston in 1986, Dr. Cohn attended New York Medical College where he earned his M.D. Degree in 1991. He was elected to the medical honor society, Alpha Omega Alpha, and received the Trustee Scholar Award while in medical school.
If you are a NEW patient, save time in our office by downloading, printing, and bringing your new patient forms to your appointment. Often your pupils must be dilated during an eye exam. Dilation is necessary for a thorough evaluation of your eyes. Dilation may cause your vision to become blurry and lights will appear brighter than usual.
The Cohn Eye Center participates with most major insurance plans. Below is a list of some accepted plans. If you don't see your plan listed, please call our office at 407-647-7227 (press option 3) to ask if your plan is accepted.

Approximately 15 years ago my ophthalmologist referred me to Dr. Cohn due to an enlarged cup in my optic nerve which as I was told, could be a symptom of glaucoma. Since my eye pressure and peripheral vision were normal, Dr. Cohn suggested careful monitoring of the optic nerve, eye pressure checks and peripheral vision tests every six months which have continued to the present time.
I have other unrelated issues such as Fuchs dystrophy, cataracts and dry eyes which are also monitored during each visit. I am grateful to Dr. Cohn and his staff for the expert care I have received over the years, for keeping me informed of my many issues and treatment options and for always having my best interests at heart. I highly recommend Dr. Cohn to potential patients with specific concerns or others who may be searching for complete, competent eye care.

Dr. Cohn was covering for another doctor that did my wife cataract surgeries, she was having problems and Thank God for Dr Cohn we were so impressed with him, he has won us over, the office folks are very polite and professional and the medical staff was excellent and Dr Cohn was fantastic such a nice man and explained everything that was going on with her eyes after the surgery from another surgeon. He did a fantastic exam on my wife's eye's and calm her down since she was so upset having problem from the surgery.

Dr. Cohn is an excellent doctor. I had been going to him for years before I moved out of the area. I called this morning to book an appointment, and the woman on the phone was incredibly unpleasant. Beware. The receptionist filled my ears with the many obstacles to booking an appointment, the things Dr. Cohn cannot do (such as not taking vision care plans), and so forth.
I explained I had FL Health Care Plans for insurance. She then said, "I don't know what that is". Before I could explain it was under Blue Cross, she interjected. She sounded like I was interrupting her coffee break and only wanted me off the phone. Needless to say, I did not book an appointment here. I had to hang up. Not worth it if I must deal with rude, condescending staff. I will look elsewhere.

I have been a patient of Dr. Cohn's for quite a few years and have received great care. Dr. Cohn is always willing to answer all your questions. I just had cataract surgery and he did a wonderful job. Jim, the surgical coordinator, explained the procedure, paperwork, and after care. Alice G in optical was so helpful with my new sunglasses. The entire staff is friendly, informative, and professional.

I highly recommend Dr. Cohn and every single member of his staff, from the office staff right up to the doctor himself! The waiting room itself is quite nice and spacious. The practice offers vision exams, an optical store and opticians (which I haven't yet availed myself of, so I cannot comment on it). I see Dr. Cohn for Glaucoma monitoring and have found him to be one of THE MOST thorough, respectful and personable healthcare professionals I have ever had the pleasure of using.
He takes an inordinate amount of time to answer all questions I have and to explain what each test is and what the results of each mean relative to previous tests. I have yet to have a visit with him when he doesn't personally walk me to the front desk and spend a few minutes chatting with me. Bottom line? Look no further than Cohn Eye Center: Dr. Richard Cohn, MD for all of your vision needs! You will not do better
