Get to know Ophthalmologist Dr. Samuel H. Lee, who serves patients in Sacramento, California.

Being a board-certified and fellowship-trained ophthalmologist, Dr. Lee is well-versed in the latest corneal transplant techniques, including DALK, DMEK, and DSEK. He has a special interest in challenging lens and IOL-related complications, as well as managing the ocular surface disease and dry eye. In June of 2016, he joined Sacramento Eye Consultants in California, where he continues to practice to this day. 

Sacramento Eye Consultants’ top priority is achieving excellence in all that they do. The team of professionals strive to provide the highest quality and safety of patient eye care through state-of-the-art technology, surgical technique, clinical findings and treatment, as well as excellent customer service. For patients who are considering laser vision correction, need cataract or corneal eye surgery, or glaucoma therapy, Sacramento Eye Consultants enhance their lives by helping their vision. 

In addition to being a member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, and the Cornea Society, Dr. Lee is board-certified in ophthalmology by the American Board of Ophthalmology (ABO). The ABO is an independent, non-profit organization responsible for certifying ophthalmologists in the United States of America. 

In regards to the doctor’s educational background, he earned his medical degree from the Loma Linda University School of Medicine, graduating as part of the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society. He then went on to complete his internship at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center. 

In 2009, he came to Sacramento for his residency in ophthalmology at UC Davis Eye Center, and then moved to Chicago to complete his fellowship in cornea and refractive surgery at the Illinois Eye and Ear Infirmary at the University of Illinois in Chicago. Dr. Lee chose to specialize in cornea and refractive surgery because he enjoys challenging cases, and is able to handle complex anterior segment surgery. 

Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine and surgery, which deals with the diagnosis and treatment of eye disorders. Ophthalmologists are experts in the diseases, functions, and anatomy of the eye. They may provide routine care such as vision testing, as well as prescribe and fit eyeglasses or contact lenses. However, ophthalmologists are also surgeons. They repair traumatic injuries to the eye and perform cataract, glaucoma, and corneal surgery. 

In his personal life, Dr. Lee enjoys living in Sacramento with his wife and two young daughters. In addition to English, he speaks Korean and Spanish. He has a strong interest in automobiles and has run his car on many race tracks in California. He also enjoys NBA basketball and served as the team ophthalmologist for the Sacramento Kings from 2014 until 2016.
