- W2073603736 abstract "This year marks the 40th anniversary of the National Eye Institute (NEI), during which we celebrate four decades of leadership in basic and clinical science of the eye and vision.The NEI emerged from the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Blindness (NINDB) in 1968 as the first government organization solely dedicated to research on human visual diseases and disorders—the establishment owed both to a Congressional interest and from a push by prominent ophthalmologists.1Dr. Jules Stein was one of these ophthalmologists. He founded Research to Prevent Blindness, Inc., (RPB) in 1960, and soon after he championed the cause for creating a National Eye Institute. A Gallup poll at the time demonstrated a perceived need for such an organization, revealing that blindness was second only to cancer as the most feared ailment among Americans.In a separate campaign, Dr. Alfred Edward Maumenee, Jr., chairman of the Ophthalmology Department at Johns Hopkins University, enlisted help from his colleagues to form the Association of University Professors of Ophthalmology in 1966. One of their first acts was to advocate for the creation of a government eye institute.When the bill to establish an eye institute was introduced in Congress in 1967, Lions Club member Dr. Ralph W. Ryan, former head of the NINDB section on clinical ophthalmology, organized the Lions who sent over 100,000 telegrams and letters to urge bringing the legislation to the floor of the House for a vote.2President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the law to found the NEI on August 16, 1968. He emphasized his commitment to improving the vision of Americans in his signing statement: “Nearly every family in America has at least one member suffering some form of vision problem or eye disease… These tragedies need not occur… There is much that remains to be learned.”3" @default.
