Retired U.S. Military can get FREE Eye Glasses Each Year in Costa Rica

I'm not 100% positive on this and the procedure but someone shared on one of the message boards this.  Let me know if you try it & it works/doesn't:

"I just learned that even here in Costa Rica, as a retired military member (USN 1960-1982) I am entitled to receive one pair of "spectacles" free each year. If this is news to you also, and you wish more information, go to: http://med.navy.mil/SITES/NOSTRA/ORDER/Pages/Retiree.aspx
