Virginia Eye Consultants

What Virginia Eye Consultants does

Virginia Eye Consultants is a private ophthalmology and optometry practice founded in the 1960s, headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia, and serving the Hampton Roads region through six physical locations: Norfolk, two Virginia Beach sites (General Booth and Great Neck), Hampton, Suffolk, and the Renew Aesthetic Center. The practice operates as a partner practice under EyeCare Partners, LLC, a PE-backed doctor-led platform that provides corporate, compliance, and operational infrastructure. Clinical services span comprehensive eye care (routine exams, dry eye, diabetic eye care), subspecialty medical and surgical ophthalmology (cataract surgery with a full premium IOL portfolio including the Light Adjustable Lens, LASIK, PRK, EVO ICL, refractive lens exchange, corneal disease and transplantation, retinal disease, glaucoma including MIGS, and oculofacial plastic surgery), and an aesthetic line through the wholly-owned Renew Aesthetic Center subsidiary offering BOTOX/Dysport/Xeomin, dermal fillers (JUVEDERM, Restylane, RADIESSE, Sculptra, collagen), and CO2 laser skin resurfacing. The practice generates revenue primarily through insurance-reimbursed professional services (vision and medical insurance) and elective, out-of-pocket cash-pay procedures, supported by physician referrals, self-referrals, online appointment booking, and a multi-channel presence (website, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn). The clinical team includes fellowship-trained ophthalmologists with academic appointments at Eastern Virginia Medical School, optometrists, physician assistants, and a residency program, with multiple physicians holding Top Doctor designations from Newsweek, Castle Connolly, and Coastal Virginia Magazine.
