This DOD registry uses vision data to guide research. It also strives to improve eye care. Here is how we support the eye care, research, and academic communities:

Collecting Data

• We gather eye injury and vision-related data to improve military medicine.
• Track major eye injuries in active duty service members.
• Coordinate care between the DOD and VA.
• Support long-term studies on how to prevent and treat vision issues.

Data Access and Research Help

• We provide important vision data and offer research support.
• DVEIVR data gives researchers and medical staff accurate information to improve military eye care.
• Researchers can access this data through the CarePointGoes to CarePointsite site (CAC-required).
• The site has a self-service Business Intelligence tool.
• This tool uses a special ocular vocabulary created by our experts.
• It lets researchers create custom reports and turn data into useful information.
• This tool can be a model for other medical communities.
