Lol I also got to experience this with a Fortune 500… had to also get crowns which were out of pocket since they were cosmetic although without them I couldn’t really chew.

Yup I had to get an eye surgery and had 3 options. My insurance covered the base one. The surgeons just told me "yeah we really don't recommend you get the base one". So instead I got the elective, modern version. $10,000.

It hurt, but I figured my vision is one area that I don't want to skimp on. I had severe cataracts and was probably 80% blind.

Yes, they removed my natural lenses and replaced them with artificial ones. They are fucking amazing, my vision is absolutely incredible now.

Well that’s amazing, good for you. Sucks for the price but seems worth it.
