Virginia Eye Consultants is celebrating its 50th anniversary by providing 50 charitable eye procedures in 2013. We call it “50-for-50.” Earlier this year, we asked for nominations and received more than 200 submissions.
Our committee met this week to select the 50 people who will receive complex eye care procedures at no charge. This event brought together VEC doctors, other leaders in the eye care field and many respected members of the community.
VEC Team members worked hard to make this evening rewarding for all.

VEC Executive Assistant Sara Peterson and Dr. Yeu
The mood was electric as our committee members carefully read through all of the nomination submissions. We are not exaggerating when we say that we were touched by each and every one of the stories.

The team at VEC is now more excited than ever about helping to change the lives of people in the community through 50-for-50. The selected nominees will be announced in June.
