Overview

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 an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Usher Syndrome. Her top areas of expertise are Diabetic Retinopathy, Retinal Detachment, Late-Onset Retinal Degeneration, Vitrectomy, and Cataract Removal.

Her clinical research consists of co-authoring 153 peer reviewed articles and participating in 1 clinical trial. MediFind looks at clinical research from the past 15 years. In particular, she has co-authored 7 articles in the study of Usher Syndrome.
