Dr. Neil Miller attended Harvard University, where he majored in biochemistry, graduating Magna cum Laude in 1967. He then matriculated to Johns Hopkins Medical School. After finishing medical school in 1971, he had an internship in internal medicine at Johns Hopkins, followed by an ophthalmology residency at the Wilmer Eye Institute and a fellowship in neuro-ophthalmology at the University of California, San Francisco, with Dr. William F. Hoyt.

Dr. Miller joined the staff of the Wilmer Eye Institute of the Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1975 and has been a faculty member at Johns Hopkins since then. He is currently Professor Emeritus of Ophthalmology, Neurology, and Neurosurgery at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions. He was Chair of the Wilmer Resident Selection Committee for over 30 years.

Dr. Miller was president of the North American Neuro-Ophthalmology Society from 2000 to 2002 and Chairman of its Executive Board from 2002 to 2004. He has been past president of the International Neuro-Ophthalmology Society on three occasions: in 1982, 1992, and 2008. He is also an emeritus member of the International Orbital Society. In 2009, he was given the Lifetime Achievement Award by the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO).

Dr. Miller was Book and Media Editor of the American Journal of Ophthalmology for 5 years. He currently is an Associate Editor for the journal Translational Vision Science and Technology and has served as a reviewer for numerous journals, including the American Journal of Ophthalmology, Ophthalmology, the British Journal of Ophthalmology, Lancet, Neurology, JAMA, JAMA Ophthalmology, Journal of Neurosurgery, and the New England Journal of Medicine.
