Overview

Join the HJF Team

HJF is seeking an Optometrist to provide scientific, technical and programmatic support services to the Warfighter Refractive Eye and Surgery Program and Research Center (WRESP). The Optometrist is responsible for pre-surgical evaluation, work up and post-surgical co-management of refractive surgery patients enrolled in WRESP-RC surgery programs within established institutional policies and procedures, ensuring that all necessary steps are followed for safety and regulatory compliance and for assuring accuracy of complex clinical documentation on patients' records, maintaining confidentiality.

The primary mission of the WRESP-RC is to provide refractive surgery to our nation's warfighters so that they might perform their duties on the battlefield without the need for spectacle correction. One of the unique features of the WRESP is that it is not necessarily a "medical" program but a "medical readiness" program. The secondary mission is to critically investigate military aspects of refractive surgery in order to improve the visual function of America's warfighters on the modern battlefield.

WRESP-RC serves as a research center for refractive surgery in the U.S. Army and DOD. Studies focus on a comprehensive evaluation of safety, efficacy, and visual performance after laser refractive surgery with particular regard to aspects of military importance.

The Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine (HJF) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing military medicine. We serve military, medical, academic and government clients by administering, managing and supporting preeminent scientific programs that benefit members of the armed forces and civilians alike. Since its founding in 1983, HJF has served as a vital link between the military medical community and its federal and private partners. HJF's support and administrative capabilities allow military medical researchers and clinicians to maintain their scientific focus and accomplish their research goals.
