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.

One in three Americans have a astigmatism...I have one...you’re eyes aren’t “special” and my shit is always paid for

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.

i asked abt surgery and my doctor said i was so near sighted they might not have enough to scrape off and well - surgery was then out of the question for me :(

i was told the same thing. too near sighted for lasik. apparently there is another surgery that involves implanting a lens into the eye. sort of like wearing your contacts on the inside.

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.

will ask around then. honestly, as much as i spend on contacts, it's probably worth it.

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.
