Not sure if anyone can really be of help where I am at, but a few years ago I was diagnosed with a partially detached retina. I've been without insurance for years, was on it when i was still with my parents, but @ 25, I work but can't afford insurance. Anyway, I managed to get a new pair of glasses about a month ago and the dr. showed me my retina pics and what it looked like. There is a tear, that is evident, the other eye there is a bubble or something in it...
Anyway I've been calling around to places hoping to get a payment plan and so far the one receptionist i spoke with is able to get me in for $200 down and $50 per month, which for now is kinda do-able, until I am unemployed in May. I need to call her back and find out if that is for the initial appointment or with a surgery......
*sign of the times, eh?*
Anyway I was wondering if anyone can give me suggestions as to what do. I just called the United Way and got a number to a place that maybe able to help. I am in NE Ohio, Lake County to be slightly more specific.
Thanks!
