Amanda Ortiz, wife of U.S. Air Force Airman Emanuel Ortiz, a water and fuels systems specialist with the 35th Civil Engineer Squadron, peers through a Nidek RT-5100 auto refractor as U.S. Air Force Maj. Ronny Bowman, an optometric physician with the 35th Aerospace Medicine Squadron, finds Amanda’s best prescription at Misawa Air Base, Japan, Jan. 21, 2016. The auto refractor is connected to proprietary software built specifically for the military and produces a 99.9 percent accuracy rate when determining a patient’s prescription. The doctor still verifies the prescription with the patient and addresses any other symptoms found while examining the patient’s eyes. Bowman said with this kind of innovative technology, he may be out of a job in less than a decade. Bowman hails from Paris, Ark., and Ortiz is a Fort Worth, Texas, native.
