She frequently lectured at George Washington University on vision loss, neuro-ophthalmic disorders, conjunctival, and corneal problems. In the area of uveitis, she lectured to the Veterans Administration on posterior uveitis White Dot Syndromes. Dr. Dang's research and peer reviewed publications, such as her work on diabetic retinopathy and new technologies for fundus imaging, have contributed valuable insights to the field of ophthalmology. Other publications have addressed problems associated with carotid disease and strokes.
