Nice that you’re talking down to a doctor and still wrong. You belong on the confidentlyIncorrect Lemmy. And FYI I eventually had surgery to correct it; there are laser treatments and surgical peripheral iridectomy options and not just pharmacologic therapies. You’ve been wrong every step of the way here, want to keep digging?
Interesting. Well I stand corrected then.
I guess these procedures are well out of the affordable range for the average ape though, marijuana happens to be a whole lot cheaper.
You need to read the link I posted on my reply to you, marijuana may be cheaper but it won’t stop the vision damage. It’s like getting drunk instead of dealing with an injury, also “cheaper” in the short run.
Okay. But which one is covered by insurance?..
Depends on the state.
Timolol eye drops are $10 at CVS pharmacy, $30 without a discount card. If that’s too expensive and you’d rather go blind than spend it, you have bigger problems than I can help with.
Yes, I find myself learning something today. I just got done watching a tutorial video which is apparently meant to teach half blind people how to properly apply their own eye drops.
Seems they’re oblivious to the fact they’re literally telling half blind people to carefully observe what they’re doing, instead of just asking a family member or roommate that can see better to apply the drops for them.
Asking the blind to treat their own eyes? Brilliant! /s
