About Me

Dr. Benjamin Katz is a glaucoma specialist committed to helping patients preserve and improve their vision with thoughtful, individualized care. As a glaucoma fellow, he evaluates the full spectrum of disease—from early, subtle changes in eye pressure to complex and advanced cases—and explains options in plain, practical terms so patients can choose confidently. He also performs cataract evaluations and coordinates care for people with coexisting eye and medical conditions.

Dr. Katz completed ophthalmology residency at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit and attended medical school at WashU Medicine. His fellowship training in glaucoma focuses on modern laser therapies and surgical techniques that can reduce pressure safely and effectively. Patients appreciate his calm manner, evidence-based approach, and careful follow-up designed to protect vision for the long term.
