Overview
My goal is to help patients see better. As a Durham native, I'm proud to practice medicine in the Durham community. As a cataract and refractive surgeon, I perform a wide variety of advanced vision correction procedures, including LASIK surgery and laser-assisted cataract surgery using the most advanced lenses. I also see patients diagnosed with glaucoma, dry eye disease, meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), and other common eye conditions. When I'm not working, I enjoy serving the community. I've served as Chairman of the North Carolina Central University Board of Trustees, the John Avery Boys and Girls Club Board of Directors, and provided shadowing opportunities for students interested in pursuing medical careers. Currently, I serve on the North Carolina Specialty Hospital Board of Directors and the NCCU Foundation Board of Directors. Most recently, I was appointed by Governor Roy Cooper to serve on the North Carolina State Health Coordinating Council.

Duke Eye Center
I feel very privileged to take care of patients at the Duke Eye Center. I believe that everyone deserves state-of-the art and compassionate eye care and strive to provide both to my patients. I particularly enjoy working with my patients to develop the plan of care that is tailored to their needs. Many of my patients have glaucoma or are at risk for glaucoma, although I also take care of people with general eye conditions such as cataract. My research focuses on helping patients with glaucoma self-manage their disease by improving patient educational materials, studying communication between patients and doctors, and developing a novel eyedrop bottle that helps patients instill their eyedrops correctly. My North Carolina roots run deep- originally from Charlotte, I am fortunate to have been educated both at UNC and Duke, my husband works at Duke and my three daughters were born in Duke Hospital. Dr. Muir is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Glaucoma. Her top areas of expertise are Glaucoma, Ocular Hypertension (OHT), Pigment-Dispersion Syndrome, Trabeculectomy, and Corneal Transplant.
