Irena Tsui, M.D.
Associate Professor
Department of Ophthalmology
Jules Stein Eye Institute
Dr. Irena Tsui specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of retinal diseases, with a particular focus on pediatric retina conditions such as retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Her clinical expertise includes diabetic retinopathy management, macular degeneration therapy, retinal detachment surgery, and advanced imaging techniques for retinal diseases.
Key research questions include:
- How can advanced imaging techniques improve the diagnosis and management of diabetic retinopathy?
- What are the long-term outcomes of anti-VEGF therapy for retinopathy of prematurity?
- How can surgical techniques be optimized for pediatric retinal detachment cases?
- What are the impacts of viewing conditions on ROP progression?
- How can retinal imaging biomarkers predict therapeutic response in retinal diseases?
Dr. Tsui's research integrates clinical expertise with advanced imaging technologies to improve patient outcomes in both adult and pediatric retina care. Her work has contributed significantly to understanding and treating complex retinal diseases.
