The Surgical Eye Care Foundation (ECF) has partnered with 20/20 Memphis, the Eye Specialty Group, The Southern College of Optometry and the Church Health Center for its annual "Eye Love My Community Day" to be held Thursday, August 29.
A team of companies and healthcare professionals will be donating their time and materials for the event designed to promote awareness and deliver eye care for those who have little or no resources for assistance.
Approximately 80 surgical cataract procedures are expected to be performed at two surgery centers - one in Memphis and one in Southaven, Mississippi - as part of the event. Six Eye Specialty Group doctors will be providing the free cataract surgeries at their Ridge Lake and Southaven Surgery Centers.
Those wanting more information should visit foundation@esp.md or call Cindy Brandon at 901-820-2256. Application to participate or nominate someone else in the event should be made by August 17.
