The National Eye Institute (NEI) is one of twenty-seven United States National Institutes of Health (NIH) established by Congress; the NEI was created by Public Law 90–489 in 1968. It was formed to protect and prolong the vision of people living in the United States by preventing, diagnosing and treating eye diseases and conditions, NEI's April 1975 report, Vision Research Program Planning, was perhaps the country's first comprehensive vision assessment.
