Management of MWD eye injuries is complex. Recommendation is to use the ADVISOR line (833-ADVSRLN [833-238-7756]) or other communication methods to consult with a veterinary clinical specialist (MOS 64F Veterinary Clinical Medicine Officer) as soon as possible. Further consultation may be completed with a veterinary ophthalmologist through the 64F.

Teleophthalmology improves and extends veterinary ophthalmic care to remote or deployed locations. Providing photos at the consultation, if possible, is strongly recommended. Other information that should be provided includes mechanism of injury, any history of eye protection and key examination findings including current visual acuity.
