One of the busiest cataract surgeons in the country, Dr. Miller has performed over 20,000 cataract surgeries.
Dr. Miller was the first surgeon in the Rockford area to offer two revolutionary advancements in the treatment of cataracts. One of these is the highly successful ReSTOR® multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) for cataract patients. Prior to the advent of this treatment option, the vast majority of patients who had undergone cataract surgery received monofocal lenses, which typically requires the patient to wear eyeglasses for distance vision and bifocals for near vision following their surgery. The goal of multifocal lens surgery is to restore your ability to read the newspaper, prescription bottles, mail, drive a car, or participate in your other favorite activities, all without glasses. The second of these advancements, for patients with high levels of astigmatism, is the Toric IQ astigmatism correcting implant that can be used with a very high rate of success for achieving distance vision without glasses. Dr. Miller has performed over 3,000 of these two Advanced Technology Implants.
Dr. Miller welcomes you to Miller Eye Center and looks forward to caring for your vision needs.
