Glasses and Hearing Aids

New Directives for Glasses and Hearing Aids

This new directive allows VA to provide glasses and hearing aids to those enrolled in the VA Healthcare System who are not service connected for those conditions (Priority Groups 6-8), providing their necessity is clinically indicated.

In the past these were available only to those service connected for the condition.  These services are now considered part of the preventative care package for all veterans enrolled in the VA who meet certain criteria.
