Duke Eye Center Holly Springs
I specialize in the medical and surgical management of cataracts and glaucoma. I believe in partnering with my patients to create an optimal, evidence-based treatment plan for each individual. Because glaucoma requires lifelong care, I feel privileged to be a part of the lives of my patients and particularly enjoy getting to know patients and their families as we work together to treat their eye conditions. I have a number of research interests that focus on developing new technologies to diagnose glaucoma as well as developing new ways to measure eye pressure. When not working, I enjoy traveling and spending time with my family, gardening, and cooking. Dr. Wen is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Glaucoma.
