After 2.5 years of my usual non-kid-gloves handling, my glasses are pretty scratched. Fortunately, I have insurance…. sorta.
Ya see. The graduate student insurance covers eye exams, without even having to plunk down a copay. On the other hand, corrective lenses get zero coverage. So, I can either get new lenses in the same frames (I suspect that would run less than $100), get contact lenses from the optometrist (for about $180/year after student discount) or order contact lenses online (at about $140/year, going by website values). How much is laser surgery again?
The appointment is on monday.
***How much is laser surgery again?***
Free if you let me do it.
But I don’t guarantee results.
Not sure if it’s relevant, but the insurance-motif mail keeps coming in for you.
My laser surgery was $3500. Totally worth it, in my opinion. But I don’t recommend it yet for anybody who isn’t really unhappy with their current choices. If you like your lenses, keep ’em.
