Eye care in San José

How franchising works in Costa Rica

Costa Rica introduced franchise-specific legislation in 2026 requiring a franchise offer circular to be delivered to a prospective franchisee in advance of signing.

Nothing on this page is an offer to sell a franchise. Any offer is made only through the disclosure documents required where you are located, and only where we are registered or exempt.

Why Eyeology works in San José

Optometry is an independently licensed profession restricted to members of the professional college, so the clinical side is well defined. Costa Rica also introduced franchise-specific legislation in 2026, so the disclosure process here is newly formalised and closer to the North American pattern than the rest of the region.

What every Eyeology location includes

  • Built on our own platform — Eyeology franchises run on proprietary practice software — records, dispensing, the online store and virtual try-on in one connected system, without third-party platform licensing.
  • A storefront that feeds your clinic — Every location includes a branded online store and virtual try-on.
  • Sports and performance eyewear — Protective, sport-specific and prescription sports eyewear is a distinct category we build into every location — a service line that works in every market we operate in.
  • Occupational and safety eyewear — Workplace and safety eyewear programs give locations a business-to-business revenue line alongside retail, built around the relevant national standards.

Cities shown indicate markets where Eyeology is gathering interest; listing a city is not a representation that a franchise is currently available there. This website is for general information only and is not an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, a franchise. A franchise is offered only by a Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), and only in jurisdictions where Eyeology is registered or exempt and after the FDD has been delivered as required by law. Submitting an inquiry creates no obligation.

Eyeology does not guarantee revenue, profitability, patient volume, or business results. Outcomes depend on market conditions, clinic operations, applicable laws, and franchisee performance.
