Research

Dr. Miller's principal research interests are the regulation of intraocular pressure in both health and glaucoma and comparative ocular pharmacology.  His primary research emphasis has been to standardize methods of determining intraocular pressure (tonometry) and to elucidate the mechanisms by which glaucoma occurs in the dog, specifically as to why the drainage closes in canine primary angle-closure glaucoma. Additionally, he has an interest in clinically applicable methods of maintaining vision in dogs with glaucoma. He has also worked extensively in the area of comparative ocular pharmacology and toxicology.

Responsibilities

Comparative ophthalmology in the third year of the professional curriculum and the clinical rotation in Comparative Ophthalmology for senior students; continuing education for private practitioners and resident-level training. Dr. Miller also has edited Slatter's Fundamentals of Veterinary Ophthalmology, the ophthalmology section fo the Five Minute Veterinary Consult and has authored over 75 book chapters, 100 formal scientific manuscripts and has given over 450 formal presentations at national and international meetings.

Clinical Interests

Comparative ophthalmology with a special emphais on glaucoma and ocular pharmacology and toxicology
