I heard that cataract surgery lenses are expensive.

I am afraid of the surgery, but

I heard that the lenses cost as much as a used car

and I can't afford to pay a little bit at a time, so

I cannot afford to have the laser surgery.

The surgery👁 is only on one side.

A friend of mine had the best one last year, both, and it cost $7000. I do get hyperemia from time to time. He did one and then did the other after a month or so. She said they look better after a few months.

I have heard good things about cataract surgery plus lenses that have eliminated the need for glasses.　On the other hand, there are people whose vision improved for a while, but then deteriorated again within a year.　Or, after the surgery, the vision is so glarey that they need to wear sunglasses even inside the house.　I have heard various things, such as that I can see streaks of lights running at night.

This may depend on the ophthalmologist, but I would like to hear from those who have experienced this.

I am also old enough to have had cataract surgery on both eyes at different times.

I also have Kaiser health insurance and medical facility with Medicare, so both eyes were operated
at Kaiser. Usually the CoPay for internal medicine is around $20, but for major surgery with anesthesia
the CoPay alone is around $250.

The rest is covered by insurance, but I get a report in the mail every 6 months from the insurance processing
which shows that the surgery cost almost $3,000 per eye.


The anesthesia is not a general anesthesia, but only a numbing of the pain points
and the stopping of all voluntary movements, including the focus of the eyeball, so that by the end of the surgery, you are seeing a psychedelic image
that is incomprehensible. You can also hear the sounds of the scalpels and instruments in action.

After the surgery, the patient is put under anesthesia for a few hours to let the treated eye settle, and the next thing you know, there is a post-operative examination
If everything is OK, someone drives you home.


Before the surgery, my doctor asked me what I would do if the surgery could set the focus of my eye.
However, since I am in my late stages of life and have had glaucoma in one eye for a long time, I said I would like to keep the focus setting
the same as before. Therefore, even now, when I drive at night on a road with no street lights,
the headlights of oncoming cars can be blinding, depending on the location.

Double Kin Man, how long ago was the surgery ？

Some of the people I've talked to who regretted the surgery say that the damage started about 4 ， 5 months later, so I'm wondering if it is possible that the damage could occur after a long period of time. I also hear that the recovery of vision will gradually decline again.

#6,

Not only Kaiser, but medical insurance premiums vary widely

by age, gender, family structure, region, co-pay rates, etc.

↑ Bikin, you are a retiree, right?
How much do you pay per month for how many people in your family ？

We have company insurance that is practically free every month, but deductible is $ 1200 per year, out of poker maximum $ 2400. Just going to the hospital for a cold costs me $200 or so, but the premium is free, so I can't complain too much.

＞ How many people in your family pay per month ？

I don't want to give out personal information.


I'd like to say that my wife and I are under Medicare and Medicare automatically pays a certain amount to the insurance company, and we don't pay anything directly. We pay only Copay for regular checkups and when we need medical treatment for physical problems.

❤️USA,

That may be because the health insurance companies are different; Kaiser charges Medicare
less than other insurance companies, so they may be charging the patient that amount.

Well, in any case, if you want to save money, stay healthy.

My wife is old, but she still cooks delicious meals every time.
I don't want to gain weight, so I want to eat less, but I can't, so I finish every meal.
I go for frequent walks and hikes to burn off the food I take in.
