Salida Girls

When I left here last Thursday morning it became obvious 60 miles down the road the irritation in my right eye was probably a foreign object and not a simple scratch experienced many times before and that before I got to where I was going someone was going to look at it and I was not turning around.

Nothing in Minturn-saw nothing along the way in Leadville or Buena Vista but I know both towns surely have optometrists. Grabbed the yellow pages in Salida and got the addresses to a couple optometrists and found the second one easily as it was just a few blocks away.

Walked in off the street and left in about 40 minutes after being taken care of and treated so nicely from every member of the staff and the one male that interacted with me. Yes walked out with one less piece of metal in my eye and a prescription.

Thank you all at the Rocky Mountain Eye Center in Salida,CO for taking such good care of me and for being so nice outgoing and friendly!

That was accomplished with a $20 co-pay and $10 for my part of the prescription from a whining pharmacist who was annoyed that I wasn't from there and he had to write down some information. I don't think he was from there because he was not very nice. 

I don't know what all of this would have cost but I'm sure several hundred and not sure what I would have done without insurance. Certainly waited until it got bad enough till something had to be done and this was something that needed specialized equipment.

Every American deserves access to treatment like this so they do not have to pay hundreds of dollars because health care is unavailable to them  or they just don't have any.

Thanks again ladies.
