    • Military Health System (MHS) - Vision and Eye Health Surveillance System (VEHSS)

    Metadata Updated: May 16, 2025

    The Department of Defense Health Agency’s (DHA) Vision Center of Excellence (VCE) analyzed data from the MHS MART database on behalf of the VEHSS project. MHS MART is a data management and reporting system used to support decision-making, health care analysis, and operational reporting. MART integrates various sources within MHS to provide a centralized repository for health care data, facilitating access to information that aids in managing health care services, resources, and performance across MHS.

    Data are based on claims and encounter records in the MHS Management Analysis and Reporting Tool (MART) database. The population includes all active-duty and retired military members and their dependents in the MHS. The sample size is approximately 9.08 million persons.

    These data are also available in the VEHSS Data Explorer, an interactive data visualization tool reporting prevalence information from more than 10 data sources: https://www.cdc.gov/vision-health-data/index.html
