My husband says it was 1,250 per eye. Medicare paid what they would have paid for the regular lens.

You might consider engaging this technology in your business. As a consumer, I would be very glad not to have to go to an office for an eye exam, but I would be very uncomfortable w/ an app making specialized decisions for me.

I would, however, be more willing to take exams w/ the app combined w/ a visit w/ the eye doctor, which would mean more frequent and better care than my current system of going whenever I break my glasses every 3-5 years.

These technologies should enhance not inhibit existing businesses. To get the government to simply suppress them is just rent seeking. I hope it works for you!

Interesting. I had no idea. I love FREEPERS. You keep us straight on information and I love it. Thank you so much!!!!!!!

Well, except for the goof on opticians doing eye tests. Mostly they try upselling frames and flattering customers. Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

For me it was $2000 out of pocket, as my insurance didn’t cover the premium lens.
