It pays to shop araound!

Been dithering about cataract surgery for a couple of years now, mainly because of the expense( no health cover ins.) anyway ... finally got to a 'face to face' assessment apptmt today and I 'm pleasantly gobsmacked .... $1000 cheaper than my last online quote from other practitioners,  I can get both eyes done next month. YIPPEE!!

Hope you are not having them done at the same time.  Geez I'll have to smarten myself up then.  You'll be able to see me for real.

Good to see you Maggs :)

What sort of money do you have to pay in total for both eyes ?

I had a friend that had one eye done for free and when he had to get his other one done 9 months later Gillard took it off the list and he had to pay over $3000.

Good to see you posting again  Maggs. Best thing about having cataracts done apart from everything clearer is how bright colours are and so much better to feel safe to night drive once again. :)

Having them done 2 weeks apart, left eye is $1300, right eye $2o40 ( I have an astygmatism,, sp.?) so a bit dearer but will be able to do without my glasses apart from tiny stuff ... I don't mind wearing glasses but if left alone my eyesight will get much worse  .... I dread the thought of losing my sight ( losing my marbles is bad enuff, lol ) and the cost of replacing specs is probably higher so hopefully, it's worth it ...

Thanks Viv,Abby, good to be back ( I hope)
