    A team of surgeons and technicians perform a photorefractive keratectomy (PRK)on U.S. Naval Academy Midshipman 2nd Class Christian Basulto’s at the Refractive Surgery Center at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. The center provides state-of-the-art laser vision correction to help active-duty service members, midshipmen and cadets from West Point and the U.S. Coast Guard Academy reduce their dependence on glasses and contact lenses.
