I couldn't get on the forum yesterday after my eye glasses exam because I felt so depressed.
I had a eye exam to get better eye glasses because I had not had them checked in about five years. I went to the eye doctor that I was recommended to go to buy my case manager. I went there, and filled the forms out. They started checking my eyes in one room, then another. Then I went to get the right frames. They decided on trifocals. She would not take my medicare, Medicaid card saying it was a prescription medication card. The girl was young. Then I went into the doctors office again, and got some information to read about my eyes. Then I went out, and they said to pay 20 dollars. I said that I was told that I wouldn't have to pay anything. The girl who helped me pick my frames said that the Lions club won't buy trifocals. I said why not. Then she took me back to the back, and showed me glasses that looked like children's eye glasses. She said I can take my pick from those. I picked one out, and she took them away, and said that they where going back. I didn't know what to think. After this experience, I felt about 1 inch tall, very ashamed, and angry. I went to my case manager, and she said that they made a mistake. She said that she will be going over there to explain. I feel very depressed right now. Don't I have a right to have glasses? BF |

Sorry to hear this, Friend.
They should have done a better job. Your case manager will hope to straighten things out I believe. M |

They wanted $650 for the glasses. Why so much? The last time I saw a eye doctor was in 2011. The glasses were $300 from the same people back then.
I gave them my card, and information in the beginning of the visit. My case manager made the appointment the week before. There were around six, or seven people working there. Someone didn't do their job. This type of thing makes me feel like I'm slowly going down hill as far as resources go. I also am getting more tired of the little problems in life. I seem to have one problem, after another. The future of my life is in question. I'm tired of this. BF |
