Personalised, evidence-based care from Dr. Tatyana Katz, OD at our Brooklyn office — with the unhurried attention your eyes deserve.
Catching Glaucoma Before It Costs You Vision
Glaucoma is often called the silent thief of sight because it can quietly damage the optic nerve long before you notice anything. Dr. Tatyana Katz, OD brings physician-level training to glaucoma detection and ongoing management at our Brooklyn office, with the careful follow-up this lifelong condition requires.
How We Detect & Monitor It
Intraocular Pressure Testing — Accurate, repeatable pressure measurement at every visit.
Optic Nerve Imaging — High-resolution scans that reveal subtle nerve-fiber loss earlier than the eye alone can.
Visual Field Analysis — Mapping your peripheral vision to detect and track functional change.
Medication Management — Prescription drops to lower pressure, with monitoring to confirm they are working.
A Long-Term Partnership
Glaucoma care is a marathon, not a single appointment. Dr. Katz establishes your baseline, sets a monitoring rhythm, and adjusts treatment as needed to preserve your vision for the long run. When surgical intervention is appropriate, she coordinates referral and continues to co-manage your care.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can glaucoma be cured?
Glaucoma cannot be reversed, but with early detection and consistent management its progression can usually be slowed dramatically — which is why regular monitoring matters so much.
Do you perform glaucoma surgery?
Dr. Katz provides screening, diagnosis, and non-surgical management, and coordinates with surgical specialists when a procedure is the right step — continuing to co-manage your care afterward.
I have a family history of glaucoma — what should I do?
A family history raises your risk, so let us know. We will set an appropriate screening schedule and watch your optic nerves closely over time.
