Lee's research focuses on racial and socioeconomic disparities in glaucoma diagnostics and treatment. A 2025 study in Cornea demonstrated reliable corneal endothelial imaging techniques, while 2023 work in Translational Vision Science & Technology explored transfer learning applications to address data inequality in ophthalmic research. Current investigations examine how Area Deprivation Index scores and baseline disease severity affect visual field testing frequency.

Key publications include analyses of visual field reliability indicators and racial disparities in clinical trial participation. Lee's work has been supported by NIH funding (R01 EY013178). Collaborative efforts span multiple institutions including Ocular Therapeutix and Zeiss, with methodological expertise in optical coherence tomography and longitudinal patient tracking for chronic eye disease progression.
