Dry Eye Disease Treatment in Brooklyn

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

Lasting Relief from Chronic Dry Eye

Burning, grittiness, watering, fluctuating vision — dry eye is one of the most common reasons patients come to our Avenue J office, and one of the most under-treated. Dr. Tatyana Katz, OD looks past the symptom to the underlying cause, then builds a plan that actually holds up day to day.

Our Treatment Toolkit

  • Targeted Lubrication — The right artificial tears for your specific tear deficiency, not a one-size guess.
  • Prescription Therapy — Anti-inflammatory drops for eyes where inflammation is driving the discomfort.
  • Eyelid & Gland Care — Protocols that address meibomian gland dysfunction, a frequent hidden cause.
  • Lifestyle & Environment — Practical adjustments to screen time, hydration, and surroundings that reduce flare-ups.

Recurrent Corneal Erosions

For patients whose eyes feel raw on waking — often after a past scratch or abrasion — Dr. Katz evaluates for recurrent corneal erosion and manages it with protective and healing therapies that break the cycle, rather than simply masking the pain each time it returns.

Many patients notice meaningful relief within a few weeks. Chronic cases are managed over time, with follow-ups to fine-tune the plan as your eyes respond.

They are repeated breakdowns of the cornea’s surface, often felt as sharp pain on waking. Dr. Katz can diagnose and manage them to stop the cycle of recurrence.
