Keeping a constant watchful eye on the eye...Cmdr. David Hessert
(Middle), Naval Hospital Bremerton Ophthalmologist performs a PRK -
photorefractive keratectomy - surgery with assistance from ophthalmic
technicians Michele Thornburg (L) and Erick Brendon (R) during their recent
'Refractive Surgery Day' held on Sept. 15, 2016. The mission of NHB's
Ophthalmology Clinic and Refractive Surgery Center is to deliver
state-of-the-art surgical vision correction to active duty military and
other uniformed service personnel, with emphasis on visual performance
enhancement for the warfighter. Operational readiness and safety is improved
by reducing the need for glasses and contact lenses. This is done either
with PRK or LASIK surgery. Both are used to correct nearsightedness,
farsightedness and astigmatism (Official Navy photo by Douglas H Stutz, NHB Public Affairs).
