That's what I was thinking. Its tough to get VA and insurance companies to pay for anything but the minimum. I have been fighting eye doctors for several years before one finally referred me to a specialist for a glare test and special eye equipment testing. I failed them badly. That's the only reason anything is being done. It all boiled back down to insurance companies not wanting to pay until my corrected vision got to 20/30. The problem is, that is under a controlled environment, at one location. IMO, that does not take into consideration changing/different light conditions and bright lights.Your correct if you can afford those lens put into your eyes. My Va. told me they were not paying for any of those. I could come to the Hospital & get fixed up with free pr. of glasses.
Insurance is not paying for the trifocal lenses. I am paying for those, the surgeon fee, as well as the special machine to install the lenses. Insurance is paying for the surgery center cost and maybe a little more. I figured that this is a once in a life time ordeal. If I'm going to have to go through it, I might as well get the best I can get.
