Personalised, evidence-based care from Dr. Tatyana Katz, OD at our Brooklyn office — with the unhurried attention your eyes deserve.
Prompt Care for Red, Painful Eyes
A red, weepy, or painful eye needs a real diagnosis — not a guess from a pharmacy shelf. Dr. Tatyana Katz, OD diagnoses and treats conjunctivitis (pink eye) and keratitis (corneal inflammation or infection) at our Brooklyn office, often with a same-week sick visit so you are not left waiting.
What We Treat
Bacterial & Viral Conjunctivitis — Accurate identification so you get the right treatment — antibiotics only when they will actually help.
Allergic Conjunctivitis — Relief from itching, redness, and swelling driven by seasonal or environmental allergens.
Keratitis — Careful evaluation of corneal inflammation or infection, including contact-lens-related cases that need urgent attention.
Follow-Up — Confirming the eye has fully healed, not just improved on the surface.
Why a Proper Diagnosis Matters
Pink eye and keratitis can look alike but require very different treatment, and a corneal infection left unmanaged can threaten vision. Dr. Katz distinguishes between them precisely so your eye heals quickly and safely.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I see an eye doctor for pink eye?
Yes — especially if there is pain, light sensitivity, or blurred vision. These can signal keratitis rather than simple conjunctivitis, and the treatments differ.
I wear contacts and my eye hurts — is that urgent?
Treat it as urgent. Contact-lens-related keratitis can progress quickly. Stop wearing the lens and call our Brooklyn office for a prompt evaluation.
Are antibiotics always needed for pink eye?
No. Viral and allergic conjunctivitis do not respond to antibiotics. Dr. Katz identifies the cause so you are treated appropriately rather than unnecessarily.
