About Gift of Sight, Hearing, & Dentures
The Gift of Sight, Hearing, & Dentures program provides eyeglasses, hearing aids, and dentures to eligible adults age 60 and older who cannot otherwise afford them. Services are provided by professionals—including ophthalmologists, optometrists, audiologists, dentists, and dental labs—who generously donate their time to help keep costs as low as possible. Assistance is based on the availability of federal funding.
