Hadley was founded in 1920 by an older adult, William Hadley, who lost his vision later in life. 100 years later, we made a commitment to reinvent ourselves in order to better serve older adults facing vision loss from such common conditions as Age-Related Macular Degeneration, Glaucoma, or Diabetic Retinopathy. Today, our help has extended to 100,000 members! Millions more to go, but it's a great start.
