Bio & Overview

An ophthalmologist and leader in corneal transplants, Albert S. Jun, MD, PhD, serves as chair of the UVA Health Department of Ophthalmology.

He specializes in treating corneal disorders and corneal procedures, including:

  • Fuchs dystrophy
  • Keratoconus
  • Endothelial keratoplasty
  • Cataract surgery

His research interests include corneal dystrophy, keratoconus, corneal transplant, surgical devices and techniques, and genetic analysis of corneal disease.

“I seek to understand how a person’s conditions impact their daily life and I work toward restoring their ability to perform meaningful activities,” he says. “I also seek to educate patients about their conditions and any treatments being considered.”

Dr. Jun grew up in Athens, GA, a college town similar to Charlottesville, where he enjoyed camping, sports, and learning. He was fascinated by the wonders of biology and the human body and wanted to use his knowledge to help others. He earned his medical degree and PhD in genetics and molecular biology from Emory University in Atlanta.

He completed an internship in internal medicine and a residency in ophthalmology at Johns Hopkins University. After his residency, Dr. Jun completed a fellowship in cornea and external disease at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London, a fellowship in corneal gene therapy at the Imperial College London, and clinician–scientist fellowship at Johns Hopkins.

Dr. Jun is so good! He did the cataract surgery on my right eye in the summer and the result was excellent! I was able to see distance with that eye and with the scleral lens, I have 20/20 vision in that eye! I have the utmost confidence in Dr. Jun. And I'm looking forward to him performing surgery on my left eye. Also, I need to add that he Is very kind and caring.

It was clearly not doctor Jun's interests to see and/or hear if the patient has any question or concern. Also it was the wall or the computer screen he was talking to not with/for the patient. He made his own decision on my condition and it was a rather in the form of notification and that was not even spoken to the patient while not making eye contacts. All in all it was just him getting familiarizing himself with the chart and nothing more. He didn't need the patient to do that nor the patient.
