Optometry helps Airmen see eye to eye

From basic training, military servicemembers are taught the importance of attention to detail. When cleaning and inspecting weapons, servicemembers ensure they are free from carbon and in good working order. If the optics on a weapon is dirty, scratched or otherwise in disrepair, the problem is immediately corrected to ensure the weapon can be zeroed in on target. It is often said that the body is also a weapon system and keeping it clean and in good working order is essential in keeping servicemembers in the fight.
