Dr. Allen Fishman established his practice of Ophthalmology in 1980 with a goal of delivering the highest quality eye care in the New York community. His philosophy has always been to provide personal and expert care to all his patients. That is why Dr. Fishman examines, counsels and treats all his patients personally. This includes all preoperative as well as postoperative care.

Dr. Fishman has been in the forefront of the most significant advances of Cataract & Implant Microsurgery. He routinely performs cataract surgery in only 15-20 minutes, with no stitches, no bleeding and the most advanced foldable implants through the smallest of incisions. His patients return home 1/2 hour after surgery and are transferred to and from surgery by courtesy limousine.

Dr. Fishman's specialized surgical techniques allow the patients to resume their normal, everyday activities within 1-2 days, if not immediately. This is in contrast to older procedures in which healing and the resumption of normal activities takes several weeks to months.

Dr. Fishman provides a full range of ophthalmic care, including diagnosis and laser treatment for Diabetic Retinopathy. Diabetic patients run the risk of blindness from retinal damage associated with their disease. This is preventable with the regular checkups along with the timely use of in-office laser treatments when indicated.

Glaucoma is another eye condition that leads to blindness when not discovered and treated in a timely fashion. The use of new, easy to use medications as well as advanced in-office laser techniques can prevent the devastating effects of this dangerous eye disease. Only regular evaluations by a board-certified ophthalmologist such as Dr. Allen Fishman, can prevent the blindness associated with Glaucoma.

Dr. Fishman has the latest state-of the art laser equipment to treat these conditions
