Does the VA take care of eyeglasses for us?

There are two answers to this question. Answer 1 is if you use the VA for Medical Care, you can get an eye exam yearly and new glasses every 2 years. If you have a 40% or more VA Disability Rating you won’t have to pay anything for the exam or the glasses if you get it all done thru the VA. Answer 2 is complicated. If you have an eye disability that is Service Connected you will never have to pay for anything needed for your specific disability needs including glasses but even if you have an eye Service Disability but you need glasses because of age you may have to pay the VA co-pay if you get glasses. So my advise is to use the VA medical system and you can get glasses or just about everything else you’ll need for your health care at very little cost to you.

I get a new pair every year

I have been going to the VA since I retired in 1998 and have had laser surgery done on both eyes and the VA has issued my glasses every 2 years.
