that depends on you do you want to get rid of your glasses or do you feel comfortable with them  do you want to travel or do you want to stay at home. i wear glasses and I would have to say travel  there is no way i would pass up the opportunity to get out fo the u.s for a vacation.

You state "any help would be appreciated". How did you get stuck with having to make the choice? That's a he ll of a responsibility. Good Luck.

Let them decide.  That will indicate how much they are willing to spend.  Regardless, have a wonderful time and let them "give" to you.  They must really love you.

You should check with OSU.  They have an excellent neurosurgeon named Dr. Gary Rea.  I'm not sure about insurance acceptance but it is the university system and I would find it hard to believe that they would be able to turn it down.

Go to an Urgent Care group close to where you live.  This is an easy-to-fix problem and be sure to let the provider know you are on a budget.  There are some standard medications that are cheaper than others and do the job 95% of the time.  I'd estimate with Rx, you can do it for $50-60 dollars, maybe cheaper.  Check around.  \n\nA second thought.  Does you campus have a student health center.  That certainly would be the cheapest.  Look into it.\n\nA third thought.  Some towns have low income or volunteer health clinics that will see you.  I used to volunteer at one.  We asked for a $5 donation which included being seen and medication...what a deal.\n\nDon't go to the ER - the bill will be five times that of an urgent care.  In the ER it is their job to prove this is not an eye emergency and that takes time and dollars.  A hospital does have to evaluate you whether you have insurance or not but they do not have to treat you if you are not experiencing a life and death issue.  Further they will attempt to bill you for services rendered, including sending the bill to collections...save yourself the grief, find a clinic as I mentioned above.

You can go either way. But always go with your gut feeling. I don't know what item it was or the price of it. Whatever virtues you stand by and will make you sleep better at night then do it. It may not have answered your question because you already know the answer!

First of all you need to list yourself as an Organ Donor and have that put on your driver's license. MAKE YOUR WISHES KNOWN TO YOUR FAMILY!!! Also, I suggest you write a living will.\nI know 2 people who have benefitted from the surgery and the only complication was the adjustment back to being sighted again, which was easily treated with physical and psychological therapy. Both are very happy with their "new" sight.

I personally would take the one that is entirely paid for as it would be VERY dificult to work and go to school at the same time. Good luck to you!

actually try the hospital. Ask what the insurance companies pay not the charge. Ask how much it would be to pay cash. They have to a certain amount of charity work, see if you qualify. If you have to get the surgery, the hospital should help come up with a way to pay for it

Step 1: Find the Revenue per surgery, using only the amount of money spent on the surgery itself.\nPayment: $1000\nCosts: $380 in supplies, $15 in flowers, $20 * .25 in glasses ($20 * the 25% of people who need it = $400/patient\n\nRevenue = payment - cost = $1000 - $400 = $600/case\n\nStep 2: Find the annual costs.\nThe fixed costs are from the cost of the room itself (180K) and the salaries of the staff (270K).\nFixed costs: $180K + $270K = $450K.\n\nThere are no variable annual costs given in the problem, so you only need to worry about the fixed annual costs.\n\nStep 3: Find break even point.\nThe break even point is where the number of cases * the revenue/case equals the fixed costs.\nx * $600 = $450K\nx = $450K / $600 = 750 surgeries (solution)

You are the sweetest child in the world, they obviously feel you deserve it. A parent looks forward to this moment from the day you are born. That is actually not an unreasonable amount I have seen them reach $5,000 plus. But Like I said this is as special to them as it gets. Don't look at it as them spending the money on you, look at it as them enjoying the fruits of their labor. You graduating (and especially going on to college) means they have achieved their dreams in life, and you will understand it better if you choose to have children. But If you feel that it is still to much, than when you finish college and get that nice paying job get them some cruise tickets, just to say "I love you"

I had laser vision surgery a few years ago in one of my eyes. I didn't get it done in the other because I wanted to be able to read without glasses with one eye and see in the distance with the other without glasses. It worked out well for me this way and I never need glasses (except sunglasses). I haven't need any kind of maintenance after the 1st couple of visits. Locally it costs about $500 per eye but it probably will be different by where you live. You will have to ask an eye doctor about your other questions but keep in mind you only have to get one eye done if you still want to be able to read without glasses. Good luck.

It would be best, while in high school AND college, to go on a Rotary scholarship, which covers everything. You will also have a support group in the foreign country.

Go with the one that will get you the most stuff, whether that be a loan or a prize like a scholarship.
