Dr. Mandy Lanier presents information about Cataracts
- 12:00 pm - 12:30 pm
- Generations Senior Center
June is Cataract Awareness Month! This is something that each of us over the age of 50 begin to deal with. Because you have them does not mean that it is time for the cataract surgery. With time, these worsen and our vision begins to fade. This is when you will need to visit an eye doctor and let them determine if surgery is necessary. Medicare covers one pair of eyeglasses with standard frames (or one set of contact lenses) after cataract surgery that implants an intraocular lens. You pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount, and the Part B deductible applies. Medicare will only pay for contact lenses or eyeglasses from a supplier enrolled in Medicare. It is very important to have your eyes checked annually. Dr. Mandy Lanier from Western Carolina Eye Center will be here on June 21, 2023 at 12:00pm to talk about cataract awareness.
