Approximately four weeks after
your cataract surgery, your doctor will determine a new
prescription for your post-operative eyeglasses.
The Austin Diagnostic Clinic Optical
Shop will accept assignment for Medicare claims for
post-operative eyeglasses.
Medicare patients, have a benefit to
help pay for post-operative eyeglasses. Medicare's
guidelines approve payments of 80% towards a basic pair of
lenses and a frame purchased after each cataract surgery.
The remaining 20% may be covered by your secondary insurance.
The ADC Optical Shop has a selection of
frames that are covered by Medicare. Our helpful opticians
will be happy to show you this selection. You may choose
to upgrade beyond Medicare's basic provisions and pay the
out-of-pocket difference for items, such as:
 |
a deluxe
frame |
|
|
progressive lenses |
|
|
anti-reflective treatments |
|
|
transitions treatments |
|
|
specialty
lenses (ie: high-index materials) |
If you have specific questions about
your new eyeglasses after cataract surgery, please stop by the
ADC Optical Shop or call 512/901-4527. Our opticians are
familiar with the Medicare guidelines for post-operative
eyeglasses.
