I paid 300 bucks for contact lenses and an eye exam. This is after my insurance paid 120 bucks, leaving me to pay the remainder. I don't understand why a regular eye exam and contact lenses should cost so much! It's not like I have x-ray vision now or that my lenses allow me to see in the infrared spectrum, in the dark and through walls. They just make me look like I don't need glasses.

After watching Michael Moore's Sicko about the "profitable" American health care industry and how insurance companies rig the system and deny coverage, I feel like the victim!

Mom, I know you are reading this. I really need you to buy me lenses in India and send it through someone once a year!
