The American Academy of Optometry (AAO) was recognized as a Cochrane Eyes and Vision (CEV) Center for Evidence-based Vision Care. CEV Centers for Evidence-based Vision Care demonstrate their commitment to evidence-based medicine by building a critical mass of highly skilled investigators who publish Cochrane systematic reviews. CEV Centers for Evidence-based Medicine are critical for assembling a portfolio of up-to-date systematic reviews that inform eye care by making the reviews publicly available to patients, clinicians, and other decision-makers.
