Yeah now that I think more about it, my friend who was complaining about it
could have had the surgery covered, but implanting corrective lenses was the
part that was not covered, as that was considered "cosmetic."
He had the droopy eyelids too, and got those fixed.

Yes, one eye does close, one eye does distance.

We used the optometrist who rents an office inside Costco, who turned

$79 for full exam. He listened to her complaints of double vision when
fatigued, and spent a lot of time dialing in prism correction to
eliminate it.
Yeah, while I was scrolling through the various values for my script I saw at

before.
And I’ve rarely gone for coatings, as I’m not convinced they’re worth it other

Not all prescriptions are suitable for all materials. Makes sense that it
