About VEC

Virginia Eye Consultants has been providing state-of-the-art eyecare to the Hampton Roads community for 60 years. The practice was established in 1963 by John W. Dickerson, who was the first ophthalmic pathologist and oculoplastic surgeon in Norfolk. In 1979, he was joined by corneal specialist Dr. Bruce I. Bodner, who had founded the Lions Eye Bank of Eastern Virginia.
