Role And Use Of Optometiy

In The Veterans Administration
Need Imy-provement




Studies showed that a significant percent of
veterans who seek medical care in Vetem-s
Administration facilities also hawe eye or vi-
sion disorders which require some form of
treatment, Many of them may not be recdv-
ing needed eye or vision care because VA has
only a limited number of providers of this
type of care--mostly ophthalmolc4sts.

One way to meet the workload would be to
expand the role and number of optometris
in the VA health care system. VA has mt
done so because of a number of problems.

GAO made this review at the request of rbe
Chairman of the Subcommittee on HUD-
Independent Agencies, Senate Committee on
Appropriations.
