- Macular DegenerationAt Miller Vision Center, we incorporate computerized technology to assist with the determination of spectacle prescriptions as well as to test for ocular disease. This includes tests for glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration.

Computerized instruments are used to supplement rather than replace personalized care.

- Carpal Tunnel SyndromeThis syndrome is like many other repetitive motion type conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome. The problem can start because our eyes move in the same way throughout the day (reading text on a screen). Once an issue has started, it can get worse as we continue the same behavior. While reading alone causes the same motion, screens are considerably harder for our eyes to view. Digital screens add flicker, contrast, glare, and light that all put additional strain on our eyes.
