About Me

Dr. Katherine M. Brown is a pediatric ophthalmologist who cares for children with vision and eye alignment problems as well as adults with strabismus. She evaluates infants, children, and teens for issues such as lazy eye, crossed eyes, congenital cataracts, glaucoma, and tear-duct blockage, and she guides families through both non-surgical and surgical options. Her philosophy is to make each visit understandable and low-stress, and to keep treatment plans practical for busy families. Dr. Brown completed ophthalmology residency followed by fellowship training in pediatric ophthalmology. She collaborates closely with pediatricians, neonatologists, and therapists to coordinate follow-up and long-term visual development. Families value her warm explanations, clear expectations, and careful follow-through after surgery.
