At the eye doctors place i could either use dilating drops which make you super light sensitive, dizzy, and far sighted for 4 hours (basically a non starter if you drive yourself) or pay $25 to have my eye photos taken with a machine which takes like 5 minutes.
IDK how using the machine isn't fully covered by insurance when its a non consumable, but the consumable eye drops are.
so $25 to spend 5 minutes snapping 6 photos of my eyes.
Total visit was $575 which was brought down to a $130 insurance copay.
