CLINICAL AND RESEARCH INTEREST

Tueng T. Shen, MD, PhD is the director of the Refractive Surgery Center at the University of Washington Medical Center. Dr. Shen was named the first Lions Assistant Professor in the Department of Ophthalmology at the University of Washington in 2003. She specializes in refractive surgery, medical and surgical management of corneal disorders and cataract surgeries.

Dr. Shen is committed to deliver the best eye care possible by providing the most advanced treatment options and by developing better technologies to restore vision for patients with challenging corneal conditions. As a physician, Dr. Shen believes that patients deserve a physician who listens to their needs and keeps them well-informed. Dr. Shen has extensive training and experience in Cornea and Refractive surgery. Her clinical expertise includes advanced techniques for refractive surgeries (LASIK, LASEK, PRK, and other surgical correction for refractive purposes, such as post transplantation), for cataract surgeries, corneal transplantation surgeries, anterior segment reconstruction, and management of corneal and external diseases.

She conducts research in corneal tissue engineering for the treatment of corneal blindness. She has a particular interest in raising the public awareness of the importance of tissue donation.

Dr. Shen enjoys her free time with her husband and two daughters, and expresses herself artistically through calligraphy, Chinese water color and sculpture.
