Adam,
As the CEO of my corporation I handle the administration of our group health plan. We as a small company, are still providing 100% payment for our employees coverage, Feds say max is 90%, but have had to increase the deductibles as time has gone by. Our plan is currently with a 3,000 deductible with 90/10 coverage after.
The wife who is my head bookkeeper home and offices told me that my surgery which was covered but under the plan deductible amount was about 1,000 per eye, with the second surgery on the left eye without charge by the doctor due to the calculation error caused by the modification by the originil Lasik surgery, which he also did. Seems as how the formulas to caluclate replacement lenses is based on a natural cornea, natural lense and natural optic nerve/retna connection. If you modify any part of the equation then the formula does not work and it becomes a best guess based on experiance situation. Turns out my first lense in the left eye was 2 diopters off, near sighted, the second was dead on 20/20.
The first operation on my right was dead on, making me just a touch near sighted, .25 diopter. I can see close and far with the brain doing the adjustment to create a single picture of long and near focus. I am typing this without reading glasses. The surgeon said he thought he could fix my shooting eye like this and it works great so far, but I must shoot with both eyes open to get the stereo vision effect.
