Gregory Kramer, M.D. is a Comprehensive Ophthalmologist, Cataract Surgeon and Glaucoma Specialist at Hackensack Eye Care Center. Dr. Kramer received his medical degree from Stony Brook University School of Medicine and completed a residency in Ophthalmology at Nassau University Medical Center in New York. Following residency, Dr. Kramer completed a clinical glaucoma fellowship at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas.

Dr. Kramer specializes in routine as well as complex cataract surgery and the medical, laser and surgical management of glaucoma.  He has a special interest in laser cataract surgery and the use of advanced intraocular lens implants, including toric lens implants to correct astigmatism and trifocal/multifocal lenses such as the AcrySof® IQ PanOptix™ Multifocal Lens Implant (IOL), to help cataract surgery patients reduce their dependence on eyeglasses. As a glaucoma specialist, he utilizes the latest technologies currently available in minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), as well as traditional glaucoma surgery to reduce eye pressure and preserve vision.

Dr. Kramer is certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology (ABO) and has authored 14 peer-reviewed publications in high impact ophthalmology journals. He has presented studies at national meetings, including the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) and the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS), and is an active member of both societies.
