Welcoming Dr. Kathy Weise to the SVP Advisory Board

4/14/2020

 
Please join us in welcoming Dr. Kathy Weise to the SVP Advisory Board. Dr. Kathy Weise is a Professor of Optometry at the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Optometry in Birmingham, AL. She is the Director of Pediatric Optometry Services and the Pediatric Residency Supervisor. She has been involved with NIH-funded, multi-center clinical trials for more than two decades studying myopia, convergence insufficiency, and strabismus and amblyopia. She currently serves as Vice Chair of the Pediatric Eye Disease Investigator Group.
Dr. Weise is the daughter of Coach Larry Niemann and the niece of ICO grad, Dr. Robert Niemann. With an optometrist uncle and football coach dad, it is natural for her to gravitate toward sports vision. Dr. Weise created BlazerVision at UAB, a deliberately collaborative effort between UAB Optometry, UAB Ophthalmology, and UAB Athletics. As part of BlazerVision, each UAB NCAA, division I team on campus has an optometry faculty member as their team eye doctor, providing comprehensive and acute eye care in addition to baseline and post-concussion eye care to all athletes on campus. As the Director of BlazerVision and the UAB football team eye doctor, Dr. Weise plays an important role in research and clinical care on the UAB Sports Medicine team. ​
