In support of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Sec. 721), we have established Ocular Trauma Centers.

Patients have access to specialized and subspeciality services. These are located where graduate medical education and residency training take place. This ensures care from trained medical teams. Our centers are referral hubs for service members, eligible veterans, and covered beneficiaries seeking:

• Full-scale eye emergency services
• Specialized treatment
• Vision rehab services
• Referrals for follow-on care

These regional locations provide around-the-clock care. They are equipped to manage all eye injuries. The Centers are guided by the DHA. They are also guided by Tri-Service Ophthalmology and Optometry Consultants. This helps them maintain full capabilities. It also helps them meet functional requirements.
