Ophthalmologist Daniel Neely, MD, has designed a vision screening kit for children, according to a news release.
Dr. Neely is a professor of ophthalmology in the Indiana University School of Medicine department of ophthalmology at the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Eye Institute and is serving as chairman of the vision screening committee for the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus. He designed the kit for the American Academy of Ophthalmology Leadership Development Program.
The new screening kit contains a Lea symbols chart for use with children who do not know the alphabet and a more traditional Sloan letters chart for children age 5 and older who know the alphabet, as well as instructions on the use of the charts and CDs with supporting information for vision screeners.
Dr. Neely received his MD from the Ohio State University School of Medicine in Columbus, completed a residency in ophthalmology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas and completed a fellowship in pediatric ophthalmology/strabismus at the Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis.
