The mission of the VHA Eye Care program is to optimize the visual functioning of the Veterans health care system patients. In doing this, VA strives to be the eye care provider of choice for the Veteran.
The material contained in this Ophthalmology and Optometry Services Design Guide (PG-18-12 Chapter 233) is the culmination of a partnering effort within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) by the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), the Office of Construction & Facilities Management (CFM), the Office of Facilities Planning (003C2), Capital Asset Management Planning Service (CAMPS), PF&A Design, and HDR, Inc.. The goal of this Design Guide is to facilitate the design process and to ensure the quality of VA facilities for Veterans and those serving them while controlling construction and operating costs.
