Retiree Benefits

[kkp]

I have a friend who is retired from the sea-bees. He has no sc disabilities, and he didn't sign up for va benefits in time to qualify for any va benefits.

I thought I read somewhere that someone in his position could still get eye exams and glasses from the va. Perhaps someone could tell me one way or the other.

thanks kkp

OK here's the deal for retirees to get glasses, go to www.nostra.navy.mil and follow the instructions. You are authorized one pair a year from them.

Also to get glasses from the VA you have to have at least 10% disablity then you can get one pair per year, either go thru your primary care doctor or call the eye clinic direct to get an appointment that's what I did and had my appt within a week. Sgt D

That is wrong it only requires you to be 10% or more to obtain glasses thru the VA, and it does't have to be S/C for an eye condition. I suggest you call the eye clinic direct and get an appointment. Sgt D
