Dr. Katy Liu
Overview
I am a clinician-scientist in ophthalmology, who specializes in caring for patients with glaucoma, and I am dedicated to improving treatments for glaucoma through research. I have a special focus on glaucoma-related to inflammation (uveitic glaucoma), and I work closely with the uveitis specialists at the Center for Ocular Immunology at the Duke Eye Center. My goal is to provide the best possible patient care with an understanding of my patients’ needs and concerns. I grew up in North Carolina and feel privileged to care for patients in North Carolina and the surrounding areas. Outside of work, I enjoy the beach, watching sports, and spending time with family and friends.

Duke Eye Center
I feel very privileged to take care of patients at the Duke Eye Center. I believe that everyone deserves state-of-the art and compassionate eye care and strive to provide both to my patients. I particularly enjoy working with my patients to develop the plan of care that is tailored to their needs. Many of my patients have glaucoma or are at risk for glaucoma, although I also take care of people with general eye conditions such as cataract. My research focuses on helping patients with glaucoma self-manage their disease by improving patient educational materials, studying communication between patients and doctors, and developing a novel eyedrop bottle that helps patients instill their eyedrops correctly. My North Carolina roots run deep- originally from Charlotte, I am fortunate to have been educated both at UNC and Duke, my husband works at Duke and my three daughters were born in Duke Hospital.
