Bio

SongEun Lee, MD, PhD, is a vitreoretinal surgeon & medical retina specialist who earned her medical degree from University Of Ulsan, College Of Medicine, setting the stage for a career focused on eye care. Dr. Lee then completed an internship at Lenox Hill Hospital, gaining hands-on experience with real patients in a clinical setting. Dr. Lee then trained as a resident at Asan Medical Center, where the focus was on building real-world experience with patients day after day. To cap off her education, Dr. Lee pursued a fellowship in Vitreoretinal, spending time learning the finer details of this specialty from experts in the field.

When it comes to Retinal Diseases and Retina Surgery, Dr. Lee brings both deep training and hands-on experience to every appointment. The retina converts light into the signals that become the images you see, and Dr. Lee knows that even small changes there can have a big effect on daily life, which is why regular monitoring matters. Dr. Lee also has expertise in Intraocular Lens Exchange, and Uveitis & Ocular Inflammation, giving patients access to a wide range of care in one place. Dr. Lee understands that eye care can feel intimidating, which is why the priority is always to make the experience as comfortable and clear as possible.

Dr. Lee maintains professional ties through the American Society of Retina Specialists, a sign of ongoing dedication to the craft of eye care. Speaking Korean in addition to English is something that helps Dr. Lee connect with a wider range of patients and make them feel welcome. Dr. Lee is available at Retina Consultants of NJ Belleville, Retina Consultants of NJ Ridgewood, or Retina Consultants of NJ Jersey City, so there are several convenient options for patients. If you are looking for an eye care provider who will take the time to get to know you, Dr. Lee would be happy to see you.
