Yi-Ling Lu is a PhD student in the OEMI Laboratory at National Taiwan University (NTU) and an attending ophthalmologist at Cheng Hsin General Hospital in Taipei. She received her M.D. from China Medical University and later joined the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at NTU to pursue interdisciplinary research that integrates clinical ophthalmology with quantitative movement science.
Her research focuses on visual perception, ocular dominance, balance control, and the biomechanics of human locomotion. She is particularly interested in how visual and sensory processing influence gait adaptation and obstacle-crossing behaviors across different age groups. Her current doctoral work examines the effects of aging and ocular dominance on whole-body balance strategies during obstructed gait, aiming to improve assessments for fall risk and mobility impairment in visually compromised or older individuals.
Clinically, Yi-Ling specializes in cataract and refractive surgery as well as myopia control. She also has extensive experience in managing dry eye disease, ocular surface disorders, and retinal conditions. She is a member of the Ophthalmological Society of Taiwan (TOS), the Taiwan Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (TSCRS), and the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS).
