You're way too young for that, Tim.
My mother was close to 90 when she had her operation. She paid the
$200.00 extra for the soft lenses. The older hard type were no
charge...as was the operation.


I had mine done about five years ago, one eye at a time, about six
months apart. My union's insurance paid for most of it, but I had
about a $250 out of pocket each time. Each time, had it done one
day, came back the next for the eye doc to check out the job. Doc
was playing Mozart in the operating room.

Mine cost me about 5g.

That's what the charge would have been for my Lasik decades ago. But
I ended up not having an out of pocket, since my insurance paid 80%
and as I was the second member of the family to be treated by the
same doc, I got a 20% discount. So I ended up getting the surgery for
zero out of pocket. Sweet, eh?Â*


Yeah some $15 an hour brick layer paid for your surgery.


If Fat Harry didn'tÂ* have the where with all to pay his way he at least got
some union to pay for him. I'llÂ* give him credit for that


I paid the full premium for my union health insurance, as did every
other union member. The union negotiated the health insurance package
from the insurer and collected and forwarded the premiums from the union
members and employers of its members; it did not pay for the premiums. I
paid both the member and employer share, but because of the negotiating
ability of the union, the total was still less than buying similar
insurance on my own.
