Well, she had surgery and now wears contact lenses that cost 160 dollars for one of them and im struggleing, working to pay for them and going to school and being a mother. well..

He was walking by all the people and she was in the front row. she reached out and took him by hand, he turn ahd shoke her hand and she said she told him what i said and how im counting on him and he said excatly this……

“Tell you daughter I am going to do everything I can to help your daughter provide health care for her daughter and she can count on me i promise.”

AND WHEN HE SAID IT MY MOTHER SAID HE LOOKED DIRECTLY INTO HER EYES AND SHE GOT GOOSE BUMPS BECAUSE OF HOW SERIOUS HE WAS.
she just told me…HOW COOL IS THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My husky is going blind and needs cataract surgery but we can’t afford it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Question by Thunder: My husky is going blind and needs cataract surgery but we can’t afford it. Does anyone have any suggestions?
My dog just turned one year old and we found out that he has juvenile / hereditary cataracts. The surgery would cost over $ 3000 and we can’t afford that right now. I have researched care credit as an option, but does anyone have any other suggestions? For a way to get the surgery done for a lower cost, or even for ways of raising money?
And please…no one comment about how we shouldn’t own a dog if we can’t afford it. When we bought him we were doing fine financially. And we are still doing ok, we just don’t have $ 3000 to drop right now.
thanks..
Here are pictures if you want to see him! He has his own myspace that I made for him.
http://www.myspace.com/320186547

And more specifics for those who were wondering..he is already blind in his left eye and will be blind in the right eye in a few months.

Thanks for all your help everyone! keep the suggestions coming I’m not giving up on my pup, we’re going to get him this surgery one way or another!

What is another insurance Dad needs to apply for besides his Medicare?

Tue, 30 Nov 2010 04:24:51 +0000

Question by SallyMay: What is another insurance Dad needs to apply for besides his Medicare?
My Dad has medicare so when I call the eye clinic places so that he can get some cataracts taken off then they say Medicare will not pay for the whole surgery. So what is another insurance that DAd can apply for that will not break him and at the same time it, the insurance, will cover the other part of his eye surgery.
Thanks and have a blessed day,.

who needs those thick glasses after cataract surgery and why? thax in advance.?

Sun, 17 Oct 2010 16:43:52 +0000

Question by needya: who needs those thick glasses after cataract surgery and why? thax in advance.?

Best answer:

Answer by princeidoc
great question!

most modern cataract extractions involve replacing the crystalline lens with a silicone or acrylic implant. the patient usually still needs glasses or bifocals, but the glasses are generally normal & not thick.

BUT

prior to say the 1970’s, a lot of cataract extraction surgeries involved removing the cataract, but not replacing the lens with an implant. the result is called “aphakia” & leavess the patient VERY FARSIGHTED…usually around +15.00 diopters. hence the very thick “coke bottle” glasses

this is less & less common, as all cataract surgeries in the US & UK nowadays are lens “replacements” not just lens “extractions”.

Q&A: Help my mom needs cataract surgery.?

Sun, 19 Sep 2010 16:23:37 +0000

Question by Chrystal: Help my mom needs cataract surgery.?
My mom is 62 and does not have ins. or medicaid and disparately needs cataract surgery, she is raising her two grandchildren on about 700.00 a month social security (theirs) and has none of her own and does not quailfy for any type of medicaid or medicare. She only has about 20% vision. She lives in Texas. Are there organizations which help with this?

Best answer:

Answer by Mags
Although you probably have this list of Free Clinics in Texas, it might be a good place to begin:

http://www.needymeds.org/free_clinics.taf?_function=list&state=tx

The next site to visit is this one specifically for Cataracts:
http://www.needymeds.org/copay_diseases.taf?_function=detail&program_id=472
which will connect you to this site:
Mission Cataract USA
http://www.missioncataractusa.org/index.php?n=1&id=1
Here is a direct link to their contact page – fill in the blanks and send:
http://www.missioncataractusa.org/contact.php?n=4&id=4&topic=

The other possibility is contacting a medical university in your area but since I don’t know where in Texas your mom resides, that is difficult to do. You can, however, do that specific search. Is she eligible for SSI?

It appears that Mission Cataract USA would be your first best hope because they deal directly with providing the service free.

Your mom certainly has a lot on her plate. You will probably have to do the reaching out for her.

Best of luck to all of you
