Health Services

Vision

The optometry service delivers primary eye care and some specialty services to West Point and the surrounding communities. Optometry is self-referral so appointments can be made directly with central appointment services. We currently see all beneficiary categories (Active Duty Military, USMA Cadets, military family members, activated Reservist with orders less than 30 days, and retirees). 

The mission of the Refractive Eye Surgery Program (RESP) is to provide Laser Vision Correction to interested and qualified members of the United States Corps of Cadets and Active-Duty Service Members in order to enhance their performance as future combat leaders by reducing their dependence on spectacles and contact lenses.
