About the Lab

Professor Eunah Kim's research lab specializes in the intersection of linguistics and clinical ophthalmology, with a dual focus on second language acquisition and ocular oncology. The lab investigates how adult second language learners process syntactic structures—particularly reflexives, pronouns, and wh-dependencies—using eye-tracking and psycholinguistic methods to uncover the cognitive mechanisms underlying L2 sentence processing. In parallel, the lab conducts clinical research on radiation-induced ocular complications, especially glaucoma and retinopathy following brachytherapy for uveal melanoma, using advanced imaging and long-term outcome analyses. These interdisciplinary efforts aim to improve both language learning theory and patient care in ocular oncology.

The on-line processing of binding principles in second language acquisition: Evidence from eye tracking
EunAh Kim, Silvina Montrul, James Hye Suk Yoon
SJR Q1Applied Psycholinguistics

ABSTRACT This study examined how adult L2 learners make use of grammatical and extragrammatical information to interpret reflexives and pronouns. Forty adult English native speakers and 32 intermediate–advanced Korean L2 learners participated in a visual world paradigm eye-tracking experiment. We investigated the interpretation of reflexives ( himself ) and pronouns ( him ) in contexts where there is a potential coargument antecedent and in the context of picture noun phrases ( a picture of him/

The Role of Island Constraints in Second Language Sentence Processing
EunAh Kim, Soondo Baek, Annie Tremblay
SJR Q1Language Acquisition

This study investigates whether adult second language learners’ online processing of wh-dependencies is constrained by island constraints on movement. Proficiency-matched Spanish and Korean learners of English completed a grammaticality judgment task and a stop-making-sense task designed to examine their knowledge of the relative clause island constraint and their sensitivity to this constraint in online wh-dependency formation. The results showed that both learner groups have knowledge of the i

Glaucoma After Iodine-125 Brachytherapy for Uveal Melanoma: Incidence and Risk Factors
EunAh Kim, Diana Salazar, Colin A. McCannel, Mitchell Kamrava, D. Jeffrey Demanes, James Lamb, Joseph Caprioli, Tara A. McCannel
SJR Q1Journal of Glaucoma

PRéCIS:: A single-center retrospective review over a 10-year period discovered an 8.6% risk of developing secondary open-angle glaucoma, and a 6.7% risk of neovascular glaucoma after brachytherapy for uveal melanoma. Additional risk factors were identified. PURPOSE: To report the incidence and identify risk factors for secondary open-angle glaucoma and neovascular glaucoma after iodine-125 brachytherapy for uveal melanoma in a tertiary ocular oncology and glaucoma practice. PATIENTS AND METHODS:

Trabeculectomy With Mitomycin-C: Outcomes and Risk Factors for Failure in Primary Angle-closure Glaucoma
Pablo Romero, Pradtana Hirunpatravong, Reza Alizadeh, EunAh Kim, Kouros Nouri‐Mahdavi, Esteban Morales, Simon K. Law, Joseph Caprioli
SJR Q1Journal of GlaucomaOA

PURPOSE: There are no reported large series of trabeculectomy with mitomycin-C (MMC) in Western patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG). Our study evaluates long-term tonometric outcomes of trabeculectomy in PACG. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a retrospective cohort study. The primary outcomes were the Kaplan-Meier success rates on survival analyses using 3 criteria, with or without adjunctive medication: (A) intraocular pressure (IOP) ≤18 mm Hg and IOP reduction of 20%; (B) IOP≤15

NEW ULTRA–WIDE-FIELD ANGIOGRAPHIC GRADING SCHEME FOR RADIATION RETINOPATHY AFTER IODINE-125 BRACHYTHERAPY FOR UVEAL MELANOMA
Tara A. McCannel, EunAh Kim, Mitchell Kamrava, James Lamb, Joseph Caprioli, Dong Yang, Colin A. McCannel
SJR Q1Retina

PURPOSE: Radiation retinopathy remains incompletely characterized and may cause severe vision loss. Ultra-wide-field fluorescein angiography provides a pan-fundus view of vascular alterations caused by radiation treatment and may predict visual and ocular outcomes. We have developed a grading scheme to describe pan-fundus severity and to predict the progression of radiation retinopathy in patients treated for uveal melanoma with iodine-125 brachytherapy. METHODS: A retrospective review of patien

SJR Q2Korean Journal of OphthalmologyOA

A 40-year-old female visited our clinic for visual disturbance of the right eye, in which a few creamy-yellow retinal lesions and visual field constrictions were noted. She had been treated for primary CNS lymphoma and was in complete remission. After failure to follow-up for three months, she lost vision in the right eye, at which time active panuveitis was seen. Decreased vision and field constriction was observed in the left eye. Her left eye showed a granular pattern and dye leakage from the

Neodymium YAG Laser and Surgical Synechiolysis of Iridocapsular Adhesions

PURPOSE: Several articles have been published on the successful elimination of iridolenticular synechiae after cataract extraction with a neodymium YAG laser (Nd:YAG laser) and surgical synechiolysis during cataract surgery, but the indications recommending which method is proper to use for specific kinds of adhesions have not yet been established. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 106 patients who had undergone Nd:YAG laser or surgical synechiolysis between January 200

INTRODUCTION: Little has been known about the intrableb structures associated with bleb function after trabeculectomy with amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT). The aim of this study is to analyze the characteristics of intrableb structures using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) after trabeculectomy with AMT. METHODS: A total of 68 eyes of 68 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma who underwent trabeculectomy with AMT were included. Surgical success was defined as int

『歷代名畵記』에 나타난 장언원의 畵觀 -『書譜』,『書斷』이 장언원의 畵觀에 미친 영향 -
김은아

중국 서화의 발생 초기단계 하도河圖와 낙서洛書에 원류를 두고 당시대唐時代의 장언원이『역대명화기歷代名畵記』「서화지원류敍畵之源流」에서 제기한 서화동체書畵同體와 품등品等에 대한 내용을 서관書觀과의 관계성을 가지고 정리해 보고자 한다. 『역대명화기』는 한 대 부터 체계화가 진행되기 시작하여 위진시기를 거치면서 당대에 서예의 법체계를 완성하였고, 이러한 서법의 완성된 체계는 규율과 법칙을 숭상하는 당대의 미학적 경향에 맞추어 회화론에도 적용함으로써 당시까지 기예라는 오명을 완전히 떨쳐버리지 못한 회화의 위상을 서예의 위치로 제고하고자 하였다. 장언원의 화관畵觀은 크게 두 가지로 구성된다고 볼 수 있다. 그 하나는 서화동체론書畵同體論과 다른 하나는 품등론品等論이다. 회화의 기원이 글씨와 같다고 보는 견해와 서예에서 최고 표준의 품등인 자연품등을 회화에서도 동일하게 적용한 견해이다. 당시대 서예미학 발전과정 중 관건이 되는 두 사람이 있다. 손과정은 미학사상을 총결 집대성했으며, 장회관은 장엄미
