lupin_bebop Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 You know........there are many jobs out there that offer vision benefits. MIne, for example. I get glasses and contacts for free. You should try it some time. Not where I work, though. Somewhere like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still Me Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 My vision plan cost 4.67 a paycheck...given how much money I make I can afford that...and I don’t have to pay when go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuggnificent Posted November 24, 2017 Author Share Posted November 24, 2017 meh. i always have paid something even with the best insurance...tmobile's. i have different powers in each eye and an astigmatism. (special eyes). so i always get fucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupin_bebop Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Yeah.....T-Mobile's insurance still isn't that great compared to mine. Even with astigmatism, you'd pay nothing for glasses. Just as long as you don't pick $500 frames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nameraka Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 yeah mine cost this much and insurance won't cover them. my vision is actually so bad it's only correctable to 20/20 with contacts. glasses won't cut it anymore. my saving grace is that my prescription is the same in both eyes. 2 boxes will get me through a year if I remember to take them out every day when i get home. starting to think eye surgery my be the way to go at this point.

You're never too nearsighted for Lasik. That little blurb is from a doctor who is not confident referring you to any surgeons in the area. Probably for good reason. I'd shop around, because I'm nearly blind minus glasses or contacts, and I'm a good candidate for Lasik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lupin_bebop Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 You should probably look into a better insurance company, honestly. My insurance through the company I work for is a PPO, and it is GLORIOUS. I don't pay for glasses or contacts, as long as I keep it under $500. They pay for Lasik (which is easily $5K per eye for a good surgeon) after my copay ($20) and surgery deductible ($1000). They pay EVERYTHING after those. It's freaking amazing.
