About Dr. Ryu

Meet Dr. Ryu

Dr. Christine Ryu grew up in the Midwest, Texas, and South Korea. She graduated with honors from Dartmouth College, where she studied anthropology. Afterwards, she spent a year teaching English in France and then working in an ophthalmology clinic, which inspired her to become an ophthalmologist. She then attended Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California, where she graduated with the highest honors of being inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Society.

Education & Training

Background & Training

Dr. Ryu completed her ophthalmology residency at the Truhlsen Eye Institute at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. She discovered her interest in the eyelids and orbit, prompting her to seek additional training through a two-year fellowship in ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery. She completed this training at Washington University in St. Louis and Ophthalmic Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery. She has been involved in extensive research and has presented and published work on a variety of ophthalmic and oculoplastic topics. Dr. Ryu is a member of the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery and the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
