Monitoring VHA Optometric Eye Exam Services, Nation-Wide, 2014-2016.

Conclusion: Veteran patients who made at least one VHA optometric eye exam service visit, nation-wide, increased from 2014 to 2016. Data showed that Veteran patients in the older age groups (age 55 and greater) used optometric eye exam services differently when compared with Veterans in the younger age groups. This difference may invite consideration of the differing optometric needs of these two, broad groups of eligible Veterans in order to expand access to VHA optometric clinical services.
