During my last eye exam, the Doctor (in Maryland) diagnosed Blepharitis (http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/blepharitis/basics/definition/con-20024605). I've had this condition for as long as I can remember but never had an official diagnosis. The Doctor suggested treatment which I didn't know was available but thought it was a good idea before going on my RTW trip. Treatment doesn't cure it and is only temporary but still seemed like a good idea.
Anyway, when I tried to get treatment here in Colorado, it was complicated so the local eye Doctor suggested I take a simple eye ointment instead. When I went to pick up the prescription today, the bill was $241.00! I declined of course and decided to continue focusing on good eye hygiene (may not be easy in SE Asia). Not sure what the price would be if I'd had insurance but thought this was a little excessive:)
