Biography

Dr. Chun-Ju Lin is a distinguished ophthalmologist affiliated with the Department of Ophthalmology at China Medical University Hospital in Taichung, Taiwan. He specializes in advanced minimally invasive vitrectomy surgery, with over 90% of his patients undergoing this procedure. Annually, Dr. Lin performs more than 300 cataract surgeries, demonstrating his extensive experience and commitment to patient care. Dr. Lin's academic background includes a medical degree from the National Taiwan University College of Medicine in Taipei. He further honed his expertise through a research fellowship in retinal studies at the Department of Ophthalmology, National Taiwan University Hospital. In 2021, Dr. Lin co-authored a study titled "Astigmatism Management with Astigmatism-Correcting Intraocular Lens Using Two Toric Calculators – A Comparative Case Series," published in Clinical Ophthalmology. This research evaluated the effectiveness of two toric calculators in managing astigmatism during intraocular lens implantation, providing valuable insights into optimizing surgical outcomes. In 2023, Dr. Lin contributed to the study "Risk of New Retinal Vascular Occlusion After Messenger RNA COVID-19 Vaccination," published in JAMA Ophthalmology. This research investigated the potential association between mRNA COVID-19 vaccination and the incidence of retinal vascular occlusion, offering critical data for understanding vaccine safety concerning ocular health. Dr. Lin's dedication to advancing ophthalmic knowledge is evident through his active participation in clinical studies and his commitment to patient care. His contributions continue to inform clinical practices, aiming to improve patient outcomes in ophthalmology.

    Author(s): Lin CJ*, Tien PT, Lai CT, Chang CH*, Hsia NY, Lin JM, Yang YC, Bair H, Chen HS and Tsai YY

    Purpose: To investigate whether patients with thyroid eye disease (TED) are at increased risk of uveitis. Methods: Data was collected from the Taiwan National Health Insurance system and included patients newly diagnosed with TED from 2000 to 2012. The endpoint of interest was a diagnosis of uveitis. Results: 444 patients with TED yielding1,776 matched comparisons revealed that patients with TED were found to have no significantly higher risk for developing uveitis. When comparison of TED and non-TED group was stratified by gender, and age, the association of TED and uveitis was also not significant. Conclusion: TED is characterized as an extraocular inflammatory disease and uveitis is an intraocular inflammation. In the largest study of TED in uveitis to date, our finding.. View More»
