Really? I've never heard of it like that.

So, it turns out that the blurred vision being temporary was only a happy thought. They're meant to shrink my pupils for the surgery, but with shrunken pupils comes poor eye-sight and horrible absorption of light. It takes like a whole minute for my eyes to adjust to a slightly brighter light. The blurryness effect will last longer and longer the more I take these eye-drops. I wish I could just get this surgery done and over with.

So we got forgeted over by insurance.

No one within the network does pediatric glaucoma surgery, and the insurance won't allow us to go out of the network without paying a massive fee of $11,500, as opposed to the normal copay of $400 within the network. So if I am going to get surgery, it's gotta be with a surgeon that's not at all comfortable with pediatric glaucoma. Damn it all.
