Have uveitis. Multiple times. Tons of blood work. 5 different machines. Multiple eye scans. Three different medications, one has to be taken every hour. Seeing a bunch of specialists. Had to go to emergency multiple times.
Am ophthalmologist in USA. Treat uveitis regularly. The two drops I routinely recommend are prednisolone and atropine, which can be bought for under $50 via Goodrx (don’t get me started). The retina scan cash price at my office is $40. The basic eye exam fee is $112 for a new patient with dilation. Not sure what other testing they required.

About $150 total (all for medication).
It’s good to be a Canadian.
I would love a detailed analysis of what this would look like in the US. My gut impulse is tens of thousands. Anyone know?
Well, one MRI cost me $10,000, so likely a 6 figures bill
