Meta Announces Free AI Rayban Meta Glasses for Every Blind Veteran in America
“When I lost my eyesight in Desert Storm from a bunker explosion, I also lost my independence. The moment I put on my Ray-Ban Meta glasses, I got my independence back.” — Don Overton, a blind veteran of the US Army’s 82nd Airborne Division.
More than 130,000 American veterans are legally blind and will be eligible for Ray-Ban Meta glasses.
How Veterans Receive Their Glasses
Eligible veterans can request their pair of Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses through bva.org/glasses. Veteran organizations seeking to help their members or other eligible blinded veterans receive glasses can apply through TechSoup.
Training & Support
Every pair of glasses includes access to training resources designed to help veterans use them effectively. Training covers how their glasses can identify objects, read text, and manage everyday tasks using only their voice — a step change in daily independence.
