Diabetic & Hypertensive Eye Exams in Brooklyn

Personalised, evidence-based care from Dr. Tatyana Katz, OD at our Brooklyn office — with the unhurried attention your eyes deserve.

Protecting Vision for Patients with Diabetes & High Blood Pressure

Diabetes and high blood pressure are two of the leading causes of vision loss — and both are most treatable when caught early, long before symptoms appear. Dr. Tatyana Katz, OD provides thorough diabetic and hypertensive eye evaluations at our Brooklyn office, with the unhurried care these conditions deserve.

What We Look For

  • Diabetic Retinopathy — Early leakage, swelling, or abnormal vessels in the retina, often present before any change in vision.
  • Macular Edema — Fluid affecting the central retina that, untreated, threatens reading and detail vision.
  • Hypertensive Changes — Signs in the retinal blood vessels that reflect how well your blood pressure is controlled.
  • Optic Nerve & Vessel Health — Findings that are documented and shared with your primary doctor or endocrinologist.

Coordinated, Ongoing Care

A diabetic eye exam is not a one-time event. Dr. Katz establishes a clear baseline with retinal imaging and sets a monitoring schedule based on your control and risk, so changes are managed proactively. Results are communicated back to your medical team so your eye care and overall health stay aligned.

Frequently Asked Questions

My vision seems fine — do I still need a diabetic eye exam?
Yes. Diabetic retinopathy often causes no symptoms in its early, most treatable stages. An annual dilated exam is the only reliable way to catch it in time.

Most patients with diabetes should be seen at least once a year, and more often if changes are found or your blood sugar has been difficult to control. Dr. Katz will set the right interval for you.

Absolutely. Coordinating findings with your physician or endocrinologist is a core part of how we manage diabetic and hypertensive eye care.
