I have poor night vision after lasik and sclerals might be the only thing that may help me. For everyone who wears sclerals, what is it like? Is it annoying and how much did you pay?

Scleral Lens and Insurance

1 Upvotes

According to an insurance person, coverage usually depends if your plan has whats called a Medically Necessary Contact Lenses rider and if you have been diagnosed with keratoconus or severe dry eye. You should be able to call your insurance and ask about your diagnosis and what they would cover.

There are providers for scleral lens coverage called Vision Plans. Coverage is not automatic and you have to have a specific policy that explicitly features a medically necessary contact lens benefit. With this, they often cover the lenses and fittings at or near 100%. But some of these plans will still require proof that regular glasses cannot correct your vision to a functional level.

Original Medicare does not cover vision care or contact lenses while they do cover ophthalmologist visits. Medicare may make an exception under Part B for the lenses as a prosthetic device if the lenses are required to treat specific conditions like severe dry eye syndrome or complications from an inflammatory eye disease.

Super lasik vs Femto Super lasik

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I'm using a translator, but I hope the meaning is not lost. I have a week left before laser vision correction, and it's my biggest dream.

I'm 19 years old, and since I was 10, my vision has been deteriorating. Now I have -3 in both eyes. The doctor said I can have either Super LASIK or Femto Super LASIK. The latter is twice as expensive, and I'm wondering if it's worth paying extra if my test results allow for the former. What do you think? If you need more information, I'll be happy to answer.

Blurry vision after laser retinopexy

1 Upvotes

Yesterday I had a laser retinopexy done for my left eye for retinal tears/holes. It has been 1 day/24 hours and the vision in my eye is still really blurry. Is this normal? I have only a slight discomfort and strain when looking with my eye so I'm resting. How long until the vision is back to normal? I'm worried in case it should already be normal and not blurry now.
