NEW ORLEANS — Thirty Louisiana veterans were gifted Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses by a Meta initiative to help blind and low-vision veterans regain independence. 

According to Gov. Jeff Landry on Friday, the veterans received the glasses at an event at the National World War II Museum in New Orleans. 

Landry said that the glasses will help the veterans navigate day-to-day life. 

The glasses were distributed as part of an initiative to help the 130,000 blinded veterans across the country.
