Optometry

We treat most acute eye problems, including diseases, infections (e.g., pink eye), and minor eye injuries. The clinic supports the warfighter and aviator PRK laser eye surgery and aviator soft contact lens programs, plus provides “frame of choice” glasses, gasmask inserts, and specialized high-altitude inserts for active-duty members. Retirees with a current prescription may order glasses. Eye examinations are available for active duty personnel and TRICARE Prime enrollees. Others are treated on a space-available basis. Additional services include flight line driver’s license color vision tests, flying-class physical eye exams, Department of Defense Medical Exam Review Board physical eye exams, and diabetic eye exams. Retirees and their family members not enrolled in TRICARE Prime are seen on a space-available basis.
