About me

Dr. Sun grew up in San Diego, California, and received her Bachelor's from the University of California, Berkeley, and her Ph.D. in Biological Sciences from Stanford University. With the goal of applying scientific innovation to patient care, she subsequently pursued a medical degree at Loyola University Chicago, where her fascination with neural connectivity and love of microsurgery led her to Ophthalmology. After a residency in Ophthalmology at the Medical College of Wisconsin, she completed a subspecialty fellowship in Glaucoma at the University of Michigan. She focuses on the medical and interventional management of glaucoma, and her surgical repertoire include both traditional, time-tested methods as well as the most promising novel minimally-invasive techniques.

In her free time, Dr. Sun enjoys piano, skiing, and iaido. She is fluent in Mandarin Chinese and loves boba and dim sum.

Insurance

Before scheduling an appointment

  1. Check your network. If you have health insurance,  call your company to find out if the OHSU Health location or provider you plan to visit is part of your network.
  2. Ask what you will pay. Your insurance company can tell you what your costs are likely to be.

If you schedule an appointment and your health insurance does not include OHSU Health, you may have to pay more than if you go to a provider in your insurance network.

  29. Facing possible blindness from Glaucoma on one remaining good eye Dr. Sun developed a multistep increasing complex plant that started immediately by draining some eye fluid to lower pressure then putting me on pills to reduce pressure until I get a first minimally invasive surgery in 12 day then if necessary a more aggressive, likely surgery to succeed in another 8 days, all in the month of August when Dr. Sun was essentially this month full.

  30. I already filled out a survey for Dr. Sun. Who is the clinician this survey refers to?
