title: Optometry in the hospital.
abstract: The Optometry Section of the Kansas City Veterans Administration Medical Center (KCVAMC) is an example of "optometry in the hospital" that encompasses three distinct areas: the Optometry Patient Care Program, Optometry Residency Program, and VICTORS Program (Visions Impairment Center to Optimize Remaining Sight). This article will explore the relationships between these areas and how they relate to the medical center's structure, patient care services, and ophthalmology.
