About Me

Dr. Sanjai Jalaj, MD, is a board-certified, fellowship-trained ophthalmologist with a passion for rejuvenating his patients' vision. A native New Yorker-turned-Jersey resident, he proudly works on improving eyes and lives in Essex and Morris counties. Specializing in the latest techniques for corneal and refractive surgery, he is currently practicing in West Orange and Morristown and is widely trusted by local physicians to perform their own cataract surgeries thanks to his personalized approach.

His expertise includes femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery with advanced intraocular lens implants, achieving precise, customized outcomes that reduce or even eliminate the need for glasses. He also specializes in cutting-edge corneal transplantation techniques like Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) and employs corneal collagen crosslinking for keratoconus, often eliminating the need for transplants altogether. In addition, he is experienced in laser vision correction (LASIK/PRK) for myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia, and is skilled in minimally invasive glaucoma procedures and oculoplastic surgery to address issues such as droopy eyelids.

Dr. Jalaj completed his ophthalmology residency at Columbia University, where he served as Chief Resident, and pursued advanced fellowship training in cornea and refractive surgery at the Cleveland Clinic. He has earned the position of Vice Chairman of Ophthalmology at Morristown Medical Center and is committed to providing the highest quality care through a compassionate and individualized approach, constantly exploring new ways to combine cutting-edge technology with tried-and-true techniques.
