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.

摘要： 此申请是一个资金支持的第七届军事愿景研讨会，这是唯一的会议请求 这是一个汇集了军队和民间眼科医生、验光师和视力研究人员的会议。来 多年来，这些会议提供了一个令人兴奋和独特的论坛，以交流信息和探讨 创伤性眼损伤的严重未满足需求。在战争中，战斗性眼损伤稳步增加， 在美军部署的中东和非洲的军事冲突中不断发生， 以及美国的恐怖主义和其他大规模伤亡事件。军事眼外伤增加 近年来，由于先前有生命威胁的损伤的个体的存活率增加， 女性比男性有更多的眼部损伤。从2000年到2010年，全世界有186，555例眼外伤 医疗设施。根据公布的数据，在此期间，军队中每个人的眼睛受伤总费用 2004年的总金额为22.82亿美元，包括浅表性眼损伤、非浅表性眼损伤和视力损伤 创伤性脑损伤（TBI）。除了军队眼睛受伤外， 发生在恐怖袭击和大规模伤亡事件中，如载油货运汽车爆炸或 工作场所。在美国和全世界对平民目标的恐怖主义袭击没有减少的迹象。 在美国，没有数据库分析所有这些类型的创伤和/或爆炸事件造成的眼损伤。 States.发展有效的治疗外伤和爆炸造成的眼损伤的方法至关重要 保护我们处于危险中军事人员以及恐怖分子袭击中的平民的视力 和大规模伤亡事件。有一个明确的需要军事眼科医生和验光师互动， 民间临床医生和基础研究人员利用新的进步和技术，以修复和康复 爆炸造成的军用眼部损伤拟议的专题讨论会将为这种互动提供机会。
