Virginia Eye Consultants will continue its annual tradition of giving back to the community with a “Looking Forward … Giving Back” event that will provide charitable eye procedures to members of the community who are uninsured, under-insured or financially unable to pay for their procedure.

These procedures include cataract surgery, LASIK surgery, corneal transplants, glaucoma surgery or other treatments for trauma.

The company, which has locations in Suffolk, Norfolk and Hampton, will accept nominations in each of its three locations or at virginiaeyeconsultants.com through July 15. All procedures will be performed at the Norfolk location.
