VSP Mobile Eyes Program, January 2024
“Prevent Blindness Texas helped me with a free eye exam and a pair of glasses. It impacted me because I don’t have insurance and I need my glasses for distance. My glasses help me a lot as well as the eye doctor can check my eyes because I have dry eyes and my family’s genes have glaucoma and cataracts so checkups to the eye doctor keeps me up to date if my eyes are doing great. Thank you all for your help!!! God bless!”
Healthy Eyes Eyeglass Program, February 2024
“I have narrow-angle glaucoma and have had multiple surgeries in both eyes. After I lost my husband in 2015 due to a heart attack, I lost everything and had no insurance. The food bank told me about Prevent Blindness Texas! I called and Ms. Maribel helped me so much to get an eye exam, and a new pair of eyeglasses. I thank God for this program and the staff who help people like me in need. My life is hard, I have no kind of insurance and I am struggling but because of you all I can see. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!”
Healthy Eyes Eyeglass Program, January 2024
“I want to thank Prevent Blindness Texas for this program, it was a big help to me and my family because we are on a fixed income and really don’t have any spare money to spend and I needed the glasses to help me along the way. Thank you for helping people who are in need!”
Healthy Eyes Eyeglass Program, February 2024
“Wow! My bifocal glasses help me tremendously. I used to use nonprescription glasses which made reading difficult. Now with bifocal glasses I can read small letters clearly without eyestrain and look at distant objects and signs with clarity and focus. I wish I had these glasses years ago. I wish I could have bifocal glasses like these in the coming years. Thank you, much appreciated.”
VSP Vision Eyes of Hope Program, February 2024
“Scheduling and getting an eye exam was so easy. We absolutely loved the eye doctor and the staff. They made this experience so smooth for my daughter. We are currently waiting on the call to pick up her glasses that should be here sometime this week. We are beyond thankful for the assistance to get my daughter her eye exam and her glasses.”
