    Who is eligible for services?

    Services are available to individuals who are 55 and older. Requirements vary by state and might include a medical eye report verifying conditions and the status of employment. We encourage all to seek out services.

In addition to the links found on this page, we encourage individuals with vision loss to inquire about potential services when they visit the eye doctor, including the Department Veterans Affairs (VA).
