Healthy Vision Month
JACKSONVILLE, Fl. (May 1st, 2024) Cmdr. Brent Collins, an optometrist at Naval Branch Health Clinic Jacksonville, conducts an eye exam with a sailor. Collins, a native of Oroville, California, holds a Doctor of Optometry from Southern College of Optometry. He says, "Vision is a gift that is easy to take for granted. Preserving this gift is critical to each of us, especially in the military. Not only can routine eye exams help detect and ensure treatment for eye conditions that reduce or threaten vision, but routine eye exams can help optimize vision for the daily demands of life. As a Navy optometrist, it is a privilege to help ensure our service members have the sight they need to safely and effectively perform their duties in defense of our country." May is Healthy Vision Month. #FacesofNHJax
