Can you help me with my eye problem?

Q. I am 21 now and I would like a strabismus eye surgery on my left eye. And my Medicaid will not cover it. I live in NY. So how much would it cost me?

Or is there a medicaid you would like to refer to me?

A. most doctors do not accept medicaid other than a university hospital like NYU or Mt Sinai, columbia etc..


How much is Lasik eye surgery in Jacksonville Florida, or Orlando, Florida, or Long Island NY?
Q. I am in Daytona Beach. they want a little over 5 grand. I can get to Jacksonville or Orlando easy. I could also get to NY and stay with friends. $5000 is moronic!!

A. Hello, I am a representative from LasikPlus hoping to provide you an answer to your question.

The price of laser correction vision surgery varies significantly by provider, type of procedure to be performed, and equipment used. WebMD estimates that typical costs for LASIK are in the range of $2,200-$2,250 per eye. While these one-time figures may seem high , it�s important to keep in mind that laser vision correction procedures are intended to achieve permanent vision correction. If you consider the cost of glasses or contact lenses over time, these numbers compare quite favorably.


LasikPlus has centers in both Jacksonville and Orlando, Florida. If you want to check out our doctors and locations page, http://tinyurl.com/FB-Doctors-Locations, you can see the exact locations and learn about the doctors. Your decision about where you will have your LASIK procedure is as important as your decision whether or not to have laser vision correction. Your surgeon should have extensive experience performing the procedure he or she is recommending for you, as well as an excellent track record of success.

While this is some of the general information I can provide on the topic, every person�s eyes are different. In order to learn more about laser eye surgery and have all of your questions answered, I would recommend coming in to the center most convenient for you to take advantage of a free consultation. This appointment will also help you determine which procedure, if any, would be right for you. Feel free to visit http://tinyurl.com/LasikPlus or call 1 (866) 953-0282. I hope this information was helpful, thank you for taking the time to research LASIK!


Is it okay to wait on an ACL surgery for a dog?
Q. My pet is about 2 and a half years and she is a spunky little pit/bulldog mix. Her and my boxer were playing out in the backyard and she tore her ACL possibly per our vet. I've had conflicting stories as far as doing the surgery and waiting her out (with meds of course). I've worked for a vet for 5 years and know first hand the pros and cons of both. I would just like someone who has had it done to give me some info. Also if I do wait where is the best place to find a PT plan for her.

A. Well I am on my third TTA surgery with my large breeds. I have held off on my rottie's other knee only because we have had to take the brunt of 7,000.00 in surgeries over the past year and a half. My vet told me we can choose not to do the surgery again. Which is where we are at now. What happens is you have to keep your dog quiet. No running, jumping, playing etc for a couple of weeks. Keep an eye on how she is walking. In time, (without surgery) she will put weight on it again but she will always have a limp. Leash walking only no running free. You can't let the leg atrophy. My Rottie is limping heavy but shows some signs of improvement but in my heart I know surgery would make her better. The TTA surgery is better for larger breeds. I have a Berner who had the surgery at 2 years of age because of jumping a fence to chase a wild turkey and my Rottie had the surgery at 6 1/2 due to degenerative disease. Now my Rottie needs the other knee done.

My vet has stated in time the animal will put pressure on the knee but over a long period of time will develop arthritis. I am in the same boat you are and have been on both sides of the fence. The rehab for this surgery is approx. 6-8 months and its hard on both the animal and the humans. I will admit that my Rottie showed amazing improvement after the surgery. All her muscle returned and she was doing great but unfortunately with the degenerative disease it was just a matter of time before the other knee went. After about 8 months she was walking normal again. So far my surgeon has been on the money.

You can go both ways. But all in all I know from experience that surgery is the best option. If your dog is large over 60 pounds I would go for the TTA surgery. Do some research not all surgeons are good with this surgery. Find someone who has alot of experience. My surgeon is one of the best and he is now in Brooklyn, NY.

Hope this helps.


Anyone have lasik eye surgery done with Dr. Dello Russo in NY?
Q. About to schedule an appt for lasik eye surgery with Dr. Dello Russo in NY. They always advertise on Z100 and I know someone who did it there who is very happy with it. They charge $3600 total. Does anyone know of someone who has been to Dr. Dello Russo? I am just looking for extra reassurance since these are my eyes after all :)

Thanks. Have a happy Thanksgiving!
I am in NY. Thanks for the tip!

A. Where are you in NY? If you're close to the Canadian border, you can get lasik for a lot less there. I had mine done in Ottawa at LasikMD at 42 Elgin St, which is near the Rido Centre. It only cost $1200. I have 20/15 in one eye and 20/10 in the other, it has been 5 years and I still have not had any issues.
