The certification requires that ophthalmologists complete an accredited ophthalmic residency training program and demonstrate the required level of knowledge, skills, and experience in ophthalmology. 

An ophthalmologist is an eye doctor that specializes in eye surgery and office-based eye-care procedures.

Dr. Jeremy joined his father Dr. Arthur, the founder of Eye Care and Surgery, in 2013, and he became partner in 2018.  Along with the Cotliars, Eye Care and Surgery houses other excellent associate ophthalmologists.

Dr. Jeremy Cotliar helps train the ophthalmology residents at New York- Presbyterian Hospital in the operating room.  He also has surgical privileges at New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai Hospital. 

Dr. Jeremy is a fellowship- trained glaucoma surgeon. He specializes in both manual and laser-assisted cataract surgery, refractive surgery, such as LASIK AND PRK, and in premium Intraocular Lens (IOL) technology for cataract surgery (Premium IOLs allow for patients to be spectacle-free after cataract surgery). Furthermore, he is certified in all of the MIGS (minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries), including the iStent, hydrus microstent, Kahook Dual-blade and the OMNI goniotomy/ canaloplasty, used either alone or with cataract surgery in mild-moderate glaucoma.  He is also certified in the XEN gel stent for advanced glaucoma.
