Joel M Miller

Firsts

Developed & marketed first widely accepted biomechanical strabismus model ("Orbit"; Miller, et al 1993, 1995, 1999)
Measured physiologic EOM forces in an alert behaving animal, using a chronically-implantable transducer developed in our laboratory (Miller & Robins 1992)
Proposed the modern notion of extraocular muscle pulleys (Miller 1989), and obtained the first functional evidence of their existence (Miller, Demer & Rosenbaum 1993)
Used MRI to determine EOM paths, cross-sections and contractilities in humans (Miller 1989)

Research Fellow in Ophthalmology with DA Robinson, Johns Hopkins Univ Sch Med.
Research Associate in Psychology, York University, Toronto.
Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology with Leon Festinger, Program in Visual Perception, Graduate Faculty of the New School for Social Research.
B.S. in Physics, Queens College, City Univ of New York.
