Services
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.
Early detection is crucial in preventing vision loss from diseases such as glaucoma, which may not cause symptoms until significant and irreversible damage has taken place.
Routine checkups also help monitor control of systemic conditions such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus.

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.
A change in glasses prescription can often improve vision when the cataract is in its earlier stages, however with time glasses may no longer fully correct the vision.

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.
This blur can most often be corrected with spectacles or contact lenses.
If you have a cataract as well as corneal astigmatism, you may be a candidate for surgical correction of your astigmatism at the same time as your cataract surgery.

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.
Eyedrops are used to anesthetize the eye.
Through a corneal incision that is less than 3.0mm, Dr.
Katz uses an ultrasound probe to break up and remove the cataract.
