Health Eyes Eyeglass Program, March 2026
“Thank you so much! Without your program I would still be wearing out, outdated glasses and not seeing well at all. Now I can see! And drivers on the road with me are safe, once again.”
Health Eyes Eyeglass Program, March 2026
“I thank God for them helping me get my eyeglasses every year. Because I am on a fixed income. Eyeglasses could be a little pricey. I am so thankful for this group Prevent Blindness Texas!”
Healthy Eyes Eyeglass Program, March 2026
“I just wanted to thank you for your support in getting glasses. I recently had cataract surgery on my left eye, and I didn’t have glasses to wear due to the new lens that was put in my eye. I had glasses, but they didn’t help with my vision the prescription was old. Thanks to your help I was able to get new glasses and can now see better!”
Health Eyes Eyeglass Program, March 2026
“I’m grateful for this opportunity to get glasses and feel blessed to say thank you. With my eyewear, I have now felt more confident and secure about myself. I have had a better chance at being successful in my schoolwork and at home. Without my glasses I would still be struggling to have good health, such as having headaches. Now that I have glasses, I live a better and much less worried life. For this, I am thankful to who made this possible. This truly has made everything so much better, I will be eternally thankful for this blessing.”
Health Eyes Eyeglass Program, March 2026
“Every year my eyesight is getting worse and unfortunately, I’m not equipped with the funds to pay for the glasses. The Prevent Blindness Texas program has never failed me, and I am so grateful for this program and I also have diabetes, so vision is a big problem for me but now that I have my glasses things are very clear. Thank you, Prevent Blindness Texas!”
