In 2010 the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center (AFHSC) and Tri-Service Vision Conservation and Readiness Program (TSVCRP) of the US Army Public Health Command (USAPHC) began development of an Annual Active Duty Military Eye Injury Summary that would detail cause and type of injury along with demographics of eye injuries (Age, Gender, Rank, Occupational Group). The first edition of the summary and annual summarys back through calendar year 2000, were produced in the spring of 2011. An analysis of years 2000-2010 was published in the May 2011 Medical Surveillance Monthly Report (MSMR). The AFHSC also developed a Case Definition for Eye Injuries that details the code set and methodology used to develop the summarys. Both the MSMR Article and Case Definition for Eye Injuries are available on the AFHSC website: http://afhsc.army.mil/home. This summary contains detailed data, along with a set of summary tables detailing Ambulatory and Hospitalization rates (per 1000 person-years) for Injury Group, Cause of Injury and Occupational Group. Summary tables for Deployment-Associated Eye Injuries detailing frequency of Eye Injuries by Type of Injury and Occupational Group are also provided. Occupational Group data is for Enlisted members only. Deployment-Associated Eye Injuries are presented without regard to Ambulatory or Hospitalized status. As one of the underlying goals of the summary is to make eye injury surveillance data accessible and useable, individual annual eye injury summaries for all years and all services (Combined DoD, Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard) are posted on the USAPHC public website.
