• Arthritis
  Dry Eye Syndrome, also known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca, is a common ocular condition that primarily affects the cornea and can result in a range of symptoms from mild ocular discomfort to loss of vision. Dry eye occurs when there is abnormality of the tear film. The tear film normally coats, lubricates, and protects the cornea. The tear film is composed primarily of an aqueous component, but also contains lipids and mucin to help prevent evaporation. Tears also contain antibodies to protect the eye against infection. The tear film may be abnormal as a result of a deficiency in any of its components, which can lead to evaporative loss. More recent evidence also suggests that inflammatory mediators in the tear film play an important role in dry eye syndrome. Symptoms of dry eyes include discomfort and irritation, tearing, light sensitivity, and loss of vision. Some systemic conditions such as Sjogren’s syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, and collagen vascular diseases reduce the ability to make aqueous tears. Inflammatory lid conditions such as blepharitis and meibomitis may reduce the ability to make the lipid component of the tear film. Chemical eye injury may result in mucin deficiency of the tear film. Some systemic medications, such as antihistamines, can contribute to dry eye as well. Treatments for dry eyes include lubrication with artificial tears, punctal occlusion, and Restasis and other topical anti-inflammatory eye drops.
• Cryotherapy
  Retinal tears: Most retinal tears need to be treated with laser or cryotherapy (freezing treatment), which is applied around the torn area to seal the retina to its proper position in the back of the eye. This is an office procedure.
• Pediatric Care
  Michael G. Miller, is an Optometrist & Primary Care Eye Doctor at Quality Eye Associates serving the eyecare needs of patients throughout southern NJ. Dr. Miller received his Doctorate of Optometry from the New England College of Optometry (NECO). His training included rotations at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute for pediatrics, Ophthalmic Consultants of Boston for pre and post-operative cataract care, and both the University of Maryland and Providence VA Medical Centers for additional training focused on advanced ocular disease. Upon graduation from optometry school he returned to Massachusetts to complete his residency at the Boston VA Medical Center.
• Primary Care
  If your insurance plan requires a referral from your primary care physician, please obtain one from your primary care physician’s office before your appointment with us.

Ophthalmologists

• Glaucoma
  Uveitis is broadly defined as inflammation of the uvea. The uvea is the middle layer of the eye, consisting of the pigmented vascular structures including the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. Uveitis can lead to redness and eye pain, glaucoma, scarring, and loss of vision. Uveitis requires treatment to control the inflammation.
• Ophthalmology
  Dr. Huang attended Sun Yat-Sen University of Medical Sciences in Guangzhou, China from 1978 to 1983. His Residency in Ophthalmology was completed by 1986 at the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center of the University. He received his PhD on Retina research in 1990 from the Institute of Ophthalmology of the University of London, England. He then carried out a Research Fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia. He completed his second Residency in Ophthalmology in 1999 from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of NJ in Newark, NJ, followed by a Fellowship in Retina in 2000 from Indiana University.
• Macular Degeneration
  Did you know that macular degeneration is a leading cause of blindness in people over 60? Age-related macular degeneration (AMD or ARMD) is a disease that gradually causes loss of central vision.
• Laser Eye Surgery
  LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) is commonly referred to simply as laser eye surgery. This is a type of refractive eye surgery performed by an ophthalmologist using an excimer laser. This surgery reshapes the cornea to correct refractive errors.
• Cataracts
  The Crystalline Lens, also known simply as the lens, is a transparent structure in the eye found behind the iris. The iris is the colored structure in the eye found behind the cornea, and the central round opening in the iris is known as the pupil. The crystalline lens provides the fine tuned focusing power that allows you to see both far away and close up, which is also known as accommodation. Accommodation is achieved by changing the shape of the crystalline lens through the action of small muscles in the eye known as the ciliary muscles. If you compare the eye to a camera, the pupil is similar to the aperture of the camera and the crystalline lens is similar to the lens in a camera, which is used to focus images. A common example of crystalline lens pathology is a Cataract.
• Cataract Surgery
  If your Cataract is advanced enough to affect your vision, your eye doctor may recommend cataract surgery. Cataract surgery is the surgical removal of the cloudy lens. Cataract surgery has a high success rate. Modern cataract surgery is a microscopic stitch-free procedure. It is an outpatient procedure where you go home on the same day shortly after your surgery. Most patients do not have any pain after cataract surgery and can return to their normal routine the next day with only a few restrictions. Your eye doctor may ask you to use medicated eye drops before surgery and after surgery to help the eye heal.

Gynecologists

• Pregnancy

Neurologists

• Multiple Sclerosis
  Uveitis may cause eye redness, eye pain, blurred vision, light sensitivity, floaters, and/or headaches. Uveitis may be associated with abdominal or bowel symptoms, multiple sclerosis, arthritis or back pain, or other collagen vascular disorders.

Endocrinologist

• Diabetes Care
• Diabetic Retinopathy
  Diabetes damages the retinal blood vessels, which can lead to bleeding and swelling of the retina. There are two types or stages of diabetic retinopathy: (1) Non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy ( NPDR ), which occurs first; (2) Proliferative diabetic retinopathy ( PDR ), which is the more advanced and severe form.

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  - If you have a symptomatic Cataract, your doctor will obtain measurements of the eye (or biometry) to determine which artificial lens is best for implantation after cataract removal. Biometry measurement of the eye for cataract surgery uses ultrasound or light to obtain accurate measurements. This is a painless non-contact test performed at your eye doctor’s office. If you wear a soft contact lens, you should stay out of your contact lens for 2 weeks prior to your visit for biometry for cataract surgery. If you wear a hard contact lens or rigid gas permeable lens, you should stay out of your contact lens for 4 weeks prior to your visit for biometry for cataract surgery.

Surgeons

• General Surgery

Plastic Surgeons

• Blepharoplasty
  Repair of the upper eyelid may be medically indicated if excessive sagging of the upper eyelid skin or drooping of the upper eyelid is severe enough to affect vision. Your eye doctor may order some Diagnostic Tests, such as a visual field, to determine if the lid droop is severe enough to affect vision. Eyelid lift ( blepharoplasty or ptosis repair ) is a procedure where the excessive sagging lid skin is removed and the lid attachment may be tightened to lift the lid. The stitches will naturally dissolve in several weeks. The lids may be swollen and bruised for approximately 1 to 2 weeks after surgery. This is an outpatient procedure where the patient goes home the same day of surgery.

Dermatologists

• Ulcer
  - A corneal ulcer is usually caused by an infection of the cornea. A corneal ulcer can cause eye pain, redness, light sensitivity, and loss of vision. It may be associated with contact lens use. An infectious cornea ulcer requires treatment by an eye doctor. Treatment usually consists of antibiotic eye drops. A corneal ulcer may lead to a corneal scar.
