Services
Comprehensive Eye Examination
Report
Regular eye examinations are invaluable in maintaining your eyes' health by both diagnosing and preventing disease as well as optimizing your visual potential. During your comprehensive eye evaluation, Dr. Katz will examine your eyes to detect diseases or other abnormalities that may not yet be causing symptoms.
Prescriptions & Contact Lens Fittings

Seeing your best is important to you, and it's just as important to Dr. Katz. She will take the necessary time to optimize your eyeglass prescription to suit all your visual needs. Katz also has extensive experience fitting and prescribing contact lenses for all types of prescriptions. If you've worn them for years but need updating or a change, or if wearing contact lenses is something you've considered but never tried, Dr.
Cataracts
Report
A cataract is a clouding of the eye's natural lens that blocks light rays from reaching the retina and results in a gradual blurring of vision. Cataracts may cause difficulty with vision at both distance and near, as well as problems with glare and halos around lights. Activities such as reading may become difficult, and driving - especially at night - could be hazardous.
Cataracts and Astigmatism
Report
The ideal surface of the cornea has a spherical curve, like the shape of a basketball, allowing light rays passing through it to bend toward its center and focus on one spot. Corneal astigmatism is when the corneal surface is shaped more like a football, with flatter and steeper curves. This common condition causes the light rays entering the eye to focus on more than one spot, causing a blur.
Cataract Surgery
Report
Cataract surgery can be considered when a cataract is affecting a person's quality of life and/or interfering with regular daily activities. Surgery involves removing the cloudy lens (cataract) and replacing it with a clear, artificial lens. Katz most commonly performs the "No-Stitch" procedure, which requires no needles, sutures or patches.
