I had my follow up appointment with the eye dr. this week and it was a day! but all that aside we have 2 main options...
1) surgery again (no insurance for that right now, but after I get on medicare they will cover that one)
2) prisms in my glasses (did not even ask how much that would cost!)
so we were talking about the insurance issues and he mentioned that there is a stick on prism that they can put on my current glasses that is affordable ($30) and will let us know if that really is a good idea for the long run.
So we did it and I get to start wearing the "new" glasses today (ok, I should have started today but I was lazy and they did tell me to let it cure for 24-48 hours, in a safe place not in the case, and they did not get to that until almost 11pm Thursday night)
I have to clean them in a different way now (to avoid removing the stick on) and it will make the vision a little blurry with that eye (ok, so it will just match my contact with that eye lol)
But I got some good information from the lady who put it on, she said my rimless frames is not an option with an in lens prism (they are to thick and the pins for the rimless are not long enough). so I mentioned to her my idea of vision correction to lighten my lenses then maybe I could do the rimless or another really lightweight frame.. she thought it was a great idea. I did tell her I had no notion that it would give me 20/20 vision as my eyes are so bad but if we can make it medically needed, as it is less invasive as the surgery I had 7/12, so my body might tolerate it better.... for now that is just an idea but one I like :)
