Meeting the vision needs of veterans: today and tomorrow

Dr. Randy KardonThe University of Iowa Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences has a long history of providing eye care to veterans from across Iowa and beyond. Our physicians and vision specialists treat patients at the Iowa City VA Health Care System and the VA Central Iowa Health Care System in Des Moines.
 
In addition, the VA Center for the Prevention and Treatment of Visual Loss is led by Dr. Randy Kardon, a professor of the ophthalmology at the UI. The Center focuses on the early detection of potential blinding disorders of the Veteran and general population, including retinal disease, glaucoma, and traumatic brain injury. The Center tests new ways of determining the earlier signs of progression and response to treatment, and develops new treatment innovations.
