Common Questions and Answers about Vision insurance for students
insurance
I was wondering if I lose my mothers medical insurance (Bluecross Blueshield of Iowa) if I don't go to college next year? My brother did but I was told I wouldn't because I'm considered a dependent. The reason why is because I became paralyzed in 11th grade. Do you believe this is true?

Ultrasound tech schools give pregnant women FREE ultrasounds!! Its so the students can practice. No insurance required. All free.
give parents hard times when the child did not have a 504 till just before it was time for the PSATS. The school would not make accommodations for PSATS, when the kid never had one and now the family fighting for the accommodations

I worked extensively with International Students at my last position for may years. I know the challenges you face when coming to our country especially with health care.
Have you contacted your sponsoring agency? Not the one that employees you but the agency that helped you to come to the USA? They should be able to assist you in any health related issues. Also see your employer's Human Resource Department. They should be your advocate.
It is possible that the ophthalmologist understood your comment "Must be able to see my students" to mean that you should have clear vision for intermediate range, NOT near / reading range which is what you normally get with -2.25.
If these were my eyes I would not have a piggy back lens put in. Your high nearsightedness is already a risk factor for complications after cataract surgery and you have gotten through the first round OK, so I wouldn't push my luck.
Many studies have shown that vision therapy doesn't work for myopia reduction. It would be a total waste of your money and your child's time.
Prices range from around $340(for hospital only plan)-$1995(for a more comprehensive HMO) per month for a couple. Couple of ways you can get better rates;
1) If one of you is Sole Proprietor business owner,
2) If you apply & enroll separately.
I recommend you to consult a licensed agent that represents companies like GHI or Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield. You can either find a local licensed agent or find a “licensed” online agency (like the one I work for; www.eHealthInsurance.com ).
But it is nothin seruous
Insurance cost us so much each month, we could not pay for our own dental needs and went years without a dental check-up. My teeth had no issues, so I continued to go about my life and now that I am on Medicare, I can once again afford dental visits. My first visit the dentist told me I have severe bone loss and they want to remove all my teeth and add bone grafts from a cadaver to my jaw line and fit me with dentures. This is totally shocking, as I have no issues with my teeth at all.
) I actually was told by a doctor at a larger hospital
eye center ( after I called reporting pain and blurry vision ) that emergency appointments are for serious injury and they are not alloted time for diagnosing and treating regular conditions . Fired them !!! I guess we just don't live in a perfect world and must just do the best we can to overcome.
Monofocal IOLs can be set for "blended vision," leaving one eye a little nearsighted. With this type of correction, you would not need glasses for distance or intermediate vision tasks (e.g., computer). You'd probably only need readers for seeing small print. Seeing the dashboard gauges wouldn't be a problem at all.
Of the three "premium" lenses, my first choice would definitely be the Crystalens HD.
Still waiting for a reply...
I met the gyn/onc recommended to me by my obgyn and did not feel comfortable from the time I walked into the office. I brought all my films, ultrasounds, reports and pelvic MRI films with me and they did not even look at them. Instead they decided they were going to do another ultrasound. Why would you need another ultrasound when you have an MRI that was only 5 days old?
Well, you've come to the right place if you don't want a sales pitch for a "premium" lens. Dr. Hagan has stated several times on this forum that he would not want a multifocal/accommodating IOL in his own eye--and he has inside information about how these lenses actually perform.
Have you ever had your son checked for vision problems. My daughter has recently been diagnosed with convergence insuffienciency. She has had difficulty keeping up with other students especially when reading is required. She was tested last year by an opthomologist and was found to have near perfect vision. I had a niece who was diagnosed with this same thing and she has gone through therapy and has made major improvements.
