So the day arrived for the cataract evaluation. I will not lie, it was a road trip kind of day for me. I was extremely nervousness. My biggest fear was that there would be nothing that they could do for me. I was told in paperwork that I would be there three to four hours, they were not playing.
I had my eyes scanned, mapped, dilated, exams, ultrasound, and everything inbetweened. Then it came the real scary part. Scheduling and arranging payment for the surgeries. My health insurance will pay for a good chuck of the cataract surgery. We also decided to have my astigmatism corrected at the same time. Which insurance will not pay for. They view this as “cosmetic”. I strongly disagree but I at the moment can not achieve 20/20 in my left eye. So I’m a little bias obviously.
Since I do not have a lot of extra money, I had to obtain a care credit to ensure payment for the left eye surgery. So, next stop, clearer vision!
