Jennifer Lee, MD - Sharp Rees-Stealy Santee

About

As a fellowship-trained ophthalmologist in Santee, Jennifer Lee, MD occupies the third floor of the Sharp Rees-Stealy campus on Cuyamaca Street with a caseload weighted toward inflammatory and autoimmune eye disease. Specialty ophthalmic medications for uveitis, scleritis, and iritis management are dispensed at All Care Pharmacy on Cuyamaca Street, one of East County's independent pharmacies stocking immunosuppressive eye drops. Her training path ran through Albert Einstein College of Medicine, a residency at the University of Pittsburgh, and a Northwestern University fellowship, producing board certification through the American Board of Ophthalmology. Sharp Healthcare data confirms she treats uveitis, episcleritis, and optic neuritis at rates significantly above the national ophthalmologist average, a pattern consistent with her fellowship focus. Community optometrists at practices including Santee Vision Care Center Optometry on Mission Gorge Road refer complex anterior-segment inflammation cases that exceed standard optometric scope. Highest-tier interventions include intravitreal injection protocols for posterior uveitis, glaucoma filtration surgery, and cataract extraction in eyes with active or prior inflammatory disease.
