Surgery for your eyes

Has anyone gotten surgery on the eye muscles because there isn't enough prism to take care of double vision?

  1. Did your surgery get covered as medically needed?

  2. Yes I had surgery on my eyes because they were "tweaking". Unfortunately because it was the same as cosmetic surgery I had to pay the full price. Spoke with surgeon and he said it would be fraudulent if I claimed it as non-cosmetic

  3. Thanks, I meet with the surgeon soon and wanted to know if anyone else had it done. My prism is an 18 and only 14 can be put into glasses and the lense is 1/4 inch thick. I cannot wear the glasses without getting a migraine. I think the glasses are screwed up too. Thanks for reporting your experience.

  4. I had 5 eye muscle surgeries until they found out I had myasthenia gravis.
