Recently, the Dave Duerson Foundation announced that it will provide a select number of Chicago Public Schools with the King-Devick Test for sideline concussion screening. This test was developed in part by ICO alumnus Steve Devick, OD '76. The announcement was covered by numerous media outlets including ABC 7, WGN-TV and the Chicago Tribune.
The Illinois Eye Institute, along with the Dave Duerson Foundation and other athletic, health and social service organizations, are members of the Chicago Concussion Coalition (CCC). One of the CCC's primary charges is to create awareness about the dangers of sports related head trauma and concussions.
