My work focuses on analyzing and improving the quality of clinical and surgical care in the field of retinal diseases. I am passionate about improving the quality of life for my patients by preserving and restoring their vision, but am also very interested in treating people on a larger scale. One way of doing so is by evaluating treatment outcomes across populations, and then identifying factors that contribute to excellent outcomes. I also specialize in the medical and surgical management of complex conditions including retinal detachment, epiretinal membrane, floaters, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. Dr. Weng is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD). Her top areas of expertise are Diabetic Retinopathy, Retinal Detachment, Late-Onset Retinal Degeneration, Vitrectomy, and Cataract Removal.
