Hyunjoo Lee, MD is an Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology at the Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine and the Director of Cornea and Refractive Surgery at Boston University Eye Associates. Before being appointed as an assistant professor, Dr. Lee completed her residency at the Boston University Medical Center and her fellowship in Cornea, External Disease and Refractive Surgery at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary. Her clinical expertise is in the diagnosis and treatment of ocular surface lesions, corneal transplantation including endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK and DSEK), cataract surgery, complex anterior segment surgery, and corneal collagen cross-linking. Her research interests are in the application of advanced optical imaging to the diagnosis of ocular surface lesions and corneal disease, as well as in the potential role of thrombospondin 1 in glaucoma and pterygium. She is also the site PI for a multi-center international study of the use of prophylactic valacyclovir in Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus.
