About Dr. Robert Latkany

Offices are located in New York City and Westchester County. I am a corneal specialist with a particular interest in dry eyes and allergies/rosacea. My private offices have doctors who treat all aspects of the eye. Please note that these offices do not fit contact lenses. I earned my Doctor of Medicine from Boston University. I completed my residency in Ophthalmology at The New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, followed by a fellowship in Cornea, External Diseases, and Refractive Surgery at the same institution.
