Dr. Jeanette Lee

Education & Experience

I am originally from Los Angeles, California. I attended UCLA for my undergraduate work in biology and completed my Doctor of Optometry degree at UC Berkeley.

After graduation, I left to practice a more extensive scope of optometry in Atlanta, Georgia. There, I practiced in an office that specialized in vision therapy and vision rehabilitation. I diagnosed and performed vision training for children and adults who have eye muscle coordination difficulties, “lazy eye,” perceptual difficulties, and those with strabismus (one or both eyes turning to one side). I also helped fit custom medical devices and performed rehabilitation training to help improve the vision function and visual performance for those patients with partial to complete vision loss (Low Vision). At this clinic, I also served as an adjunct professor to the interns at our clinic.

Medically, I am trained to treat patients with eye infections, eye inflammations, eye injuries, and eye diseases such as glaucoma. With over 30 years of experience, I specialize in treating dry eye—a condition I once struggled with myself. Understanding its impact on daily life, I founded the 20/20 Dry Eye Spa in 2017 to provide lasting relief through personalized care.

Rather than just treating symptoms, my team and I focus on identifying the root cause and creating tailored solutions. I also guide patients on lifestyle changes to support long-term eye health because I believe good overall health means healthy eyes. Helping my patients see and feel their best is my passion, and I truly mean it when I say, "I love being an optometrist!"

Because I have had the privilege of working alongside esteemed surgeons in both Atlanta and the Bay Area, I have extended experience as a refractive surgery consultant. My expertise spans a wide range of refractive procedures, including RK, LASIK, EPI-LASEK, CLE, PRK, accommodating IOLs, Evo ICL, RLE, CXL, and Intacs.

As one of six national principal investigators for Vistakon’s clinical trials on innovative contact lens designs, I have been actively involved in advancing vision correction technology. I am passionate about staying at the forefront of emerging advancements and integrating the latest innovations into my practice to provide the highest level of care for my patients.

Personal Life

Outside of work, I love playing volleyball and tennis. As a mother of two, I spend as much time as possible with my two boys. I also enjoy training for half marathons, triathlons, swimming, modern pentathlon, weight training, cooking, and photography.
