Academic Excellence & Innovation

When Dr. Stephen Felton and Dr. Michael Wong founded Princeton Eye Group, they built the practice on a philosophy forged during their residency at Wills Eye Hospital: exceptional patient care requires a relentless commitment to advancing the field. For nearly five decades, we have honored that founding principle by bringing the rigor, research, and innovation of elite academic medicine directly to our patients in Central New Jersey.

Wills Eye Physicians

Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia is America's first eye hospital, founded in 1832, and a consistent leader in US News and World Report's annual hospital rankings. Our relationship with this celebrated institution is not a credential we display, but a living, working connection that shapes how we practice medicine every day, creating a shared culture of evidence-based, collaborative care that defines Princeton Eye Group at every level.

Trained at the Best

The majority of Princeton Eye Group's specialists completed competitive residencies or fellowships at Wills Eye Hospital, one of the most selective and respected ophthalmic training programs in the world. This shared foundation creates a culture of clinical excellence and high standards that runs through every aspect of care we provide.

Active Faculty Leadership

Our connection to Wills extends well beyond training. Dr. Rahul Tonk serves as an Associate Professor of Ophthalmology on the Cornea Service at Wills Eye Hospital. Dr. John Epstein and Dr. Michele Solarte teach resident physicians the art of cataract surgery and clinical patient management. Dr. Daniel Lee served as Assistant Professor and Director of the Glaucoma Research Center at Wills before joining Princeton Eye Group. Dr. Anita Miedziak and Dr. Suzanne Jadico actively mentor Wills residents in clinical training. This ongoing academic engagement keeps our physicians at the forefront of the field and ensures that our patients benefit from care informed by the very latest advances in ophthalmology.

Surgical Integration

Through our integration with the Wills Eye Surgical Network at the Surgery Center of Central New Jersey, our outpatient surgical facility operates under the same exacting safety protocols and quality standards demanded by one of the world's top eye hospitals — bringing academic-level surgical rigor to a convenient, community-based setting.

Why It Matters for Our Patients

This engagement in research is not incidental; it is central to our mission. Patients treated at a practice that is actively advancing the field benefit from the most current knowledge, techniques, and technologies available anywhere, often before they become widely accessible elsewhere. Academic excellence is not an abstract credential. It is the reason our physicians recognize patterns that others might miss, reach for solutions that others might not know exist, and approach every clinical challenge with the discipline of physicians who have been trained to question, investigate, and improve. When you choose Princeton Eye Group, you are choosing a practice whose standard of care is set not by what is typical, but by what is possible.
