Finally had some rain today. little over 1/4 of an inch. Not much but every little bit helps.


And no. She did not say that.

Just curios, why not do both at the same time? Get it over and done

The eye surgeons won't do both eyes at one time. I guess if something goes wrong, you will still have one eye. That's a guess.
But look at this possibility that I found:

Same-day surgery is bad business for ophthalmology​

When surgeons choose bilateral same-day surgery, they are paid in full for the first eye, but then the second eye is reimbursed at only 50%. The lost revenue is problematic for a practice, but the fact that surgeons are willingly performing the surgery at a reduced reimbursement is a dangerous precedent. We are choosing to take a 25% pay cut and letting our work be devalued.

Not everyone gets clear vision out of the box. And after laying still, absolutely still for 20 minutes you need a little time. If it does not go well, you still have a back up. It is not 100% they warn you and ya gotta agree by signing about 10 disclosures that it may fail, completely.

Yep!

 

[Eastexasrick]

Yep!

6 days post-surgery, I have a minor distortion at the 6 o'clock point. Dr. said it should go away, in a week or two. Up side, reading this and typing without glasses. and read a license plate at 40 yards.

Missed saying Morning
Had cataract surgery on my right eye this morning. Amazingly easy and fast. I didn't realize how bad my vision was til I got home and can read without glasses right now. I'm ready to have my left eye done next Tuesday. Hope it goes as well.

A friend of ours in NC had his done recently. He was amazed at the results and told me "I wish I had done it sooner ".

[Vaquero]

Just got another text.

Somebody needs to be fired....

Just asking.
Who would you fire?

The guy doing the crew assembly, start date and time coordination and restoration estimate?

The guy down in the ditch while his wife and kids spend another evening wondering if he's ok?

The "mass message guy, who's changed the notification 5 times because someone on the required 5 man crew isn't answering the phone?"

Project management sucks, but everyone suffers when someone drops the ball.

Everyone has reason.

I've gotten 5 texts so far.
Somebody is telling somebody else to send them without doing due diligence.
Did you see the very first text I received?

The eye surgeons won't do both eyes at one time. I guess if something goes wrong, you will still have one eye. That's a guess.
But look at this possibility that I found:

Medicare funded cataract surgery? My had same day bilateral LASIK done 15+ years ago, no problems. My PRK was done bilaterally, same day 11 years ago again, no problems.

I can imagine older eyes are a different different story, but if Medicare is paying, I can see reimbursement rates playing a part of the decision-making. . From the same article your quoted.

It is true that same-day bilateral cataract surgery can be a more attractive option to a patient. Patients can have both of their eyes taken care of in the same setting, and it saves them time and office visits. Some surgeons promote this in their practice for their premium IOL procedures. Of course, when we do premium IOLs, we can do both on the same day, and we can mitigate the lost revenue by adjusting what patients pay out of pocket for the procedure.
