 My eyes doctor's visit 2022/Carlos Pueblo

My left eye gives me hard time for years. There are three surgery plus my diabetes which requires my visits very often to my eyes doctors. Yesterday, I visited a specialist who did my IOL procedure, the dislocation intra-ocular lens in August, 2022. It was successful. The surgeon is very careful and asks me to see to check up from a week, a month, two months, and is going to be three months check. The Medicare asks my physician to monitor my blood sugar, the sugar crystal in my small veins in eyes. I asked the IOL surgeon if he could combine both visits in just one and he agreed. I love the Medicare and consider that I am lucky under such health coverage. It is the best.

I select the Medicare Advantage, a kind of HMO for commoners without paying additional expanse for my favorite doctors. I believe that such system will be satisfied with my medical needs. I feel very comfortable that the insurance company pays very much attention to my health problems such as the diabetes and vision issues, etc. I feel lucky because that most of the costs are covered by the policy.

I came to his clinic about half an hour early. The large rooms were full with about 30 patients and their escorts. There were three doctors on duty. I waited for an hour to get in for the preliminary check such as the vision test, 20/20 a perfect one and thanks to him, the my eyes pressure. The male nurse answered my questions about ages of patients in the room mostly older people more than 75 years old; however, at age 40 people started to have issues of eyes.

Finally, my doctor came to see me briefly and was very satisfied with my progress and asked me to come back in three months. I asked him if he did check my blood sugar in my eyes. He said yes and I asked him to send a report to my internal physician to satisfy my health insurance company. His front desk clerk charged me for two visits with two co-payments. I understand that there is no free lunch such as a combination of two clinic visits. The female nurse said we would get you. I laugh and I don't mind to pay because I can continue to see without glasses now.
