Section 7(1)(c) - Health-related expenses that exceed insurance reimbursement
My partners eyes are horrible and sadly his youngest has the same issue. I also wear glasses but prescription has never changed. While both of us would love to wear both glasses and contacts its not financially feasible. When he was married it was the same thing. They covered what they could after benefits. Now that theyre divorced the eye care costs have increased. I am only going by what he said the last time the bill came in. This time he knows he was wrong to cover the stuff that wasnt technically s7 (lens cleaners etc). He isnt being mean, hes putting an end to the "dad will pay for it whether he likes it or not" argument. Plus as he put it, if kid isnt mature enough to handle cleaning the contacts properly so there are no infections then perhaps they should not wear contacts so much.
He'll cross the bridge when he comes to it.
ETA as an example, lens solution at the drugstore or grocery store is about $10+ cheaper per bottle than the eye doctor. Eye doc supplied all the lens cleaner last time to the tune of $250. If you can get the same thing elsewhere, why not do that? He told me when they were married it was purchased with groceries for cheaper. He did groceries. Its convenient to get the cleaner with the glasses/contacts at the docs office. (His ex is not frugal)
