Dr. Daniel J. Lee is a fellowship trained cornea specialist and comprehensive ophthalmologist with special interests in cataract surgery, corneal transplantation, and anterior segment reconstruction.
Dr. Lee discovered ophthalmology while working as an ophthalmic technician during college. He loved the field so much that he decided to apply to medical school solely to become an ophthalmologist. After completing his medical school training in Wisconsin, he completed his internship in Chicago where he was enlisted to help manage ICU patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Lee moved to Portland where he completed his residency training at OHSU. He was so loved by OHSU faculty and patients that he was able to remain there to complete his fellowship training in cornea, external disease, and refractive surgery.
Dr. Lee has extensive surgical experience in complex cataract surgery, corneal transplantation (full and partial thickness transplantation), iris/pupil reconstruction, secondary intraocular lens implantation, and laser vision correction (LASIK, PRK). He also offers astigmatism correcting (toric), multifocal, and light adjustable lens (LAL) options for suitable cataract surgery candidates.
He lives in Portland with his wife, two dogs, and two cats. In his free time, he enjoys hiking, gardening, cooking, and international travel.
