Research

Dr. Miller's research interests are in high-resolution retinal imaging, assessment and correction of ocular aberrations, ophthalmic optics, and the general application of advanced optical techniques to the eye. He is currently using technologies coined adaptive optics (AO) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) to image non-invasively single retinal cells in subjects. His group has developed two AO retina cameras, one based on flood illumination and another on OCT. The cameras continue to be further developed while also being used to address fundamental questions about the structure and function of the retina at the microscopic level and to aide in the diagnosis and treatment of retinal pathologies.
