Abstract: This application is a request for funding to support of the 7th Military Vision Symposium that is the only meeting of its kind bringing together military and civilian ophthalmologists, optometrists and vision researchers. Over the years, these meetings have provided an exciting and unique forum to exchange information and explore the critical unmet needs of traumatic ocular injuries. Combat ocular injuries have increased steadily in wars and continue to occur in the military conflicts in the Middle East and Africa where American soldiers are deployed, as well as in terrorist and other mass casualty events in the United States. Military eye injuries have increased by 7-21% over recent years due to increased survival of individuals with previously life threatening injuries, with women having more eye injuries than men. From 2000-2010 there were 186,555 eye injuries worldwide in military medical facilities. Based on published data, during this period the total cost of eye injuries in the military each year has been $2.282 billion, which represents superficial eye injury, non- superficial eye injury, and vision impairment related to Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Added to the military eye injuries are the civilian injuries that occur in terrorist attacks and mass casualty events such as explosions from oil carrying freight cars or in the work place. Terrorist attacks on civilian targets in the United States and world-wide show no sign of abating. There is no database that analyzes eye injuries from all these types of trauma and/or blast events in the United States. The development of effective treatments for eye injuries from trauma and blasts is of paramount importance to preserve vision in our military personnel who are in harm’s’ way as well as for civilians in terrorist and mass casualty events. There is a clear need for military ophthalmologists and optometrists to interact with civilian clinicians and basic researchers to leverage new advances and technologies to repair and rehabilitate military eye injuries from blasts. The proposed symposium will provide the opportunity for such interactions.

抽象的： 该申请是提供资金的要求，以支持第七届军事愿景研讨会，这是唯一的会议 包括将军事和平民眼科医生，验光师和视力研究人员汇集在一起​​。在 多年来，这些会议为交换信息提供了一个令人兴奋而独特的论坛 创伤性眼损伤的关键未满足需求。在战争中，战斗眼损伤稳定增加， 继续发生在部署美国士兵的中东和非洲的军事冲突中 以及美国的恐怖分子和其他大规模休闲活动。军事眼睛受伤增加了 近年来由于以前威胁生命受伤的人的存活率增加，近年来增加7-21％ 女人的眼睛受伤比男性更多。从2000年至2010年，全世界有186,555眼损伤 医疗设施。根据已发布的数据，在此期间 年份为22.82亿美元，代表了肤浅的眼部受伤，非表面的眼部伤害和视力 与创伤性脑损伤有关的损伤（TBI）。在军事眼伤中增加的是平民伤害 发生在恐怖袭击和大规模休闲事件中，例如携带货车的石油爆炸或 工作场所。恐怖袭击美国和世界范围内的平民目标没有任何减弱的迹象。 没有数据库可以分析联合的所有这些类型的创伤和/或爆炸事件中的眼睛损伤 国家。开发因创伤和爆炸而产生的眼睛损伤的有效治疗方法至关重要 重要的是要在我们的军事人员中保留视力，这些军事人员和恐怖分子的平民和平民 和大规模休闲活动。很明显需要军事眼科医生和验光师与 平民临床医生和基础研究人员利用新的​​进步和技术来维修和修复 爆炸的军事眼部受伤。拟议的研讨会将为这种互动提供机会。
