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 highly rated in 16 conditions, according to our data. Her top areas of expertise are Diabetic Retinopathy, Retinal Detachment, Late-Onset Retinal Degeneration, Vitrectomy, and Cataract Removal.
