Optometry: Seeing patients differently
Capt. Oliver Mullins, an optometrist with the 49th Medical Group, determines the prescription needed for his patient, Staff Sgt. Justin Edwards, Shifting Sands Dining Facility assistant manager, at Holloman Air Force Base, N.M., Oct. 19. Optometrists inspect their patients’ eyes for both health and vision problems. If needed, the optometrist will write their patient a prescription for eyewear. “We zero in on what prescription our patient needs and we help them get it,” Mullins said.
