Conjunctivitis & Keratitis Treatment in Queens

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

Quick Relief for a Red or Painful Eye

A sudden red, watery, or sore eye should be seen, not self-treated. At our Woodhaven office, Dr. Tatyana Katz, OD diagnoses and treats conjunctivitis (pink eye) and keratitis (corneal inflammation or infection), usually with a prompt sick visit — and with clear instructions our Spanish-speaking patients can follow with confidence.

Conditions We Handle

Bacterial & Viral Pink Eye — The right diagnosis so antibiotics are used only when they actually help.
Allergic Conjunctivitis — Relief from the itch, redness, and swelling of seasonal and environmental allergies.
Keratitis — Careful assessment of corneal infection or inflammation, including urgent contact-lens-related cases.
Healing Confirmed — Follow-up to be sure the eye has truly recovered.

Pink Eye and Keratitis Are Not the Same

They can look similar but call for very different care, and an untreated corneal infection can threaten sight. Dr. Katz tells them apart precisely so your eye heals quickly and safely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is pink eye worth a visit?

Yes, especially with pain, light sensitivity, or blurred vision — those can mean keratitis, which needs different treatment than simple conjunctivitis.

My contact-lens eye hurts — should I come in?

Please do, promptly. Contact-lens keratitis can worsen fast. Remove the lens and call our Queens office for a same-week evaluation.

Can you help me in Spanish?

Yes. We explain your diagnosis and care clearly to Spanish-speaking patients, and the website can be viewed in Spanish.
