Cataracts themselves are not rare, but I was given to understand that posterior subcapsular cataracts in a 31-year-old with no history of diabetes or steroid use were uncommon. We discussed monofocal lenses with the doctors, but the cheaper lenses weren't covered by insurance either -- they would have cost a few thousand less, but they weren't fully covered. In addition to the multifocal lenses, which seemed like the best choice for his situation, he will need to wear bifocals anyway. He also has astigmatism and potential glaucoma in his right eye, so that might be complicating his particular case? Thanks again for your post, I do appreciate it.<br /><br />ELISA, MICHAEL, PHOEBE, DOTTIE, WHIMSY -- YOU'RE ALL WRITERS SO YOU GOTTA SAVE YOUR MONEY FOR QUILL PENSPatricia Lockwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05054871173880967520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34876486.post-34574746216773430712012-05-16T08:40:42.621-07:002012-05-16T08:40:42.621-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Patricia Lockwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05054871173880967520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34876486.post-17070862041604812762012-05-16T06:53:35.214-07:002012-05-16T06:53:35.214-07:00I'm glad I was able to kick in to the kitty. ...I'm glad I was able to kick in to the kitty. <br /><br />The one post here I read by jmf243 did resonate with me though, and I wonder if you can, perhaps get a second opinion on the whole bifocals thing?

Cataracts are not a rare condition. If your husband has insurance, which it sounds like he does, his surgeries are completely covered. The astronomical $10,000 you are being quoted by an ophthalmologist is to cover the cost of a multifocal lens (The Tecnis) which has a cost to the surgery center of about $1000. The balance would be for "refractive services" by the ophthalmologist (which is the most money I have EVER heard of being charged for refractive services). Your husband could have a standard monofocal lens and wear reading glasses to read with and not have to pay the $10,00 in out of pocket expenses. (He could also have lenses placed for monovision which would have no out of pocket expense). Multifocal lenses, while great, have their own set of potential drawbacks (glare, potential for decreased best corrected visual acuity, etc.) I have to question the ethics of the Ophthalmologist your husband saw in telling him he had to get the multifocal lens and pay the outrageous fees.jmf243https://www.blogger.com/profile/04481709329306216299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34876486.post-10240065998065000262012-05-15T11:48:19.096-07:002012-05-15T11:48:19.096-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.jmf243https://www.blogger.com/profile/04481709329306216299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34876486.post-54565036353468922922012-05-15T11:28:41.358-07:002012-05-15T11:28:41.358-07:00I donated but I don't know why.
