susandennisRemoval of one cataract.
Preliminary visit which my insurance called vision check (as opposed to pre-surgery) so it cost me $119.
Eye drops $152
Surgery $335.07 (it would have cost me $909.58 had I not yet met my deductible)
Total $606.07
Considering that I paid something upwards of $400 last year on eye glasses that 1. are now worthless to me and 2. didn't do that great a job to start with, I think this is a bargain.
Plus now I know that next year, or whenever, when I have the other one done, assuming I will not have met my deductible, it will still cost me only $1,100 which is far less than I thought. So whew.
Now I'd like to make the second half of this year medical shit free. I've had enough. My breathing drugs cost me $30 a month, my blood pressure and cholesterol drugs cost another $16. But they all work well so I don't begrudge.
I'd just like to get off the medical treadmill for a little bit. Maybe now, with a little luck, I can.
