Gift of Sight

We commit to give away 2400 free pairs of glasses and 1300 free eye exams to Hoosiers in need through June 2025.

For over 80 years, Dr. Tavel Family Eyecare has focused on providing affordable and accessible eyewear and care to all Hoosiers. While Dr. Tavel accepts all insurance, guaranteed, and offers free imaging as part of our comprehensive eye exams, we recognize that for some, cost remains a barrier to care. That’s why we’ve launched Gift of Sight – our program that removes cost as a barrier to corrected, healthy vision.

We commit to give away 6,500 free pairs of glasses and 5,500 free eye exams to Hoosiers in need through June 2026.
