You Think You are Covered

Most of us have Health insurance, dental insurance, flex spending, and some have vision insurance if your employers offer the option.

The blog today is vision insurance does it worth it?

I usually I go to optical retail stores to get my exams and frames, unless I feel that something is not right. In recent years, as I grew older with age, visits an optometrists not only give me a piece of mind, and sometimes it is a necessary preventative measures.

However these visits carry are hefty price tags. I though perhaps it was the cost of the designers frame. If you do not want to walk around with the glasses like ugly better wears on her show, I suppose it is worth it?

However, I came to discover that even without new frame, the cost is still in the hundreds. That is unacceptable. There are more you should know. After all the exams were paid for, time comes to pick up my glasses. The clarity of the lenses is worst then the old one I had on. The explanation is that my insurance is only pay for a lower grade of lenses. To get the premium lenses like the one that I had, I will have to pay even more.

I feel like being held hostage. I am going to loose either way. This is only my encounter, what about your? Care to share.

The bottom line is that if you can’t afford to pay premium prices. You are stuck with the lower grade lenses included in the cost of your insurance, and your vision may get worst over times? We are not buying cars here. It is our vision. Is it discriminatory? Or should I said God bless free enterprising America. Get them if you can, let them pay the price.

You be the judge.
