That's pretty nice. I didn't realize it was down to ~$500/eye as Spehro mentioned; at that point I suppose insurers figure it could actually be cheaper than new eyeglasses every few years.
Is Electronics Addictive?

My guess is that by doing it in house, the VA can probably do both eyes for Spehro's ~$500/eye.
You can't fix stupid. You can't even put a band-aid on it, because it's

On Medicare they simply replace the lens to solve cataracts.... no more laser cleaning. ...Jim Thompson

Can LASIK fix plain ol' ordinary bog-standard presbyopia?
Thanks, Rich
Sure, it can fix the short-arm syndrome but then you can't see distance. Presbyopia is a locked focusing mechanism. Lasik can change it, once.
Guess I'll just stick with my $12.00 drugstore cheaters. ;-)
Thanks! Rich
They can adjust one eye to focus at distance "a" and the other and distance "b" (eg. "a" for reading or computer and "b" for distance)
Best regards, Spehro Pefhany

Some people have a real problem with that strategy. Others get used to it fairly quickly. For me, carrying a pair of glasses around in my shirt pocket isn't worth the risk (I started wearing them at 55).
