KINGS BAY, Ga (March 10, 2023) - Lt. Joseph Jeskie, an optometrist at Naval Branch Health Clinic Kings Bay, performs an eye exam on a patient. Jeskie, a native of Bowling Green, Kentucky, holds a doctor of optometry degree from University of Houston College of Optometry. He says, “As part of our overall health, everyone requires a comprehensive eye exam from an optometrist or ophthalmologist on a regular basis. In the early stages, many eye diseases like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy have virtually no symptoms." World Optometry Day is March 23. Optometrists provide primary vision care, ranging from sight testing and correction to the diagnosis, treatment and management of vision changes.
