The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) Intelligent Research in Sight (IRIS®) Registry is the nation’s first centralized and the world’s largest medical specialty registry.1 The IRIS Registry database was established in 2014 and currently includes selected de-identified electronic health record data from thousands of participating ophthalmologists and allied eye care providers across the United States. The data are automatically uploaded to the IRIS Registry, in most cases via systems integration software, and include patient demographics, patient medical and ocular history, clinical examination findings, diagnoses, procedures, and medications.
