Description of Research Expertise
Dr. Miller's research interests include medical and surgical interventions for glaucoma, and diagnostic techniques for the evaluation of glaucoma.Description of Clinical Expertise
Dr. Miller is the Director of the Glaucoma Service. She specializes in the diagnosis and medical/surgical management of complex glaucoma. She also treats patients with glaucoma secondary to other diseases of the eye or systemic disease, as well as patients with both cataracts and glaucoma. She cares for patients at the following locations: Scheie Eye Institute, Penn Medicine at Radnor, and the Philadelphia Veterans Administration Medical Center.Selected Publications
