My Mom's cataracts surgeries aren't covered by her Pharmacare because she needs advanced lenses - not covered by #BCgovernment.
The government only covers monofocal intraocular lens - when my Mom requires advanced lenses. Government doesn't cover advanced cataracts lenses.

Mom's cataracts doctor is a really wonderful Portuguese man. He understands immigrants & was very kind to my Mom. Dr. Pedago is one of the best doctors we have encountered in many years. Mom said - He has kind eyes/excellent human energy. I'm very grateful that we got him with a referral. I like to give credit, when it's truly due, to medical professionals, who treat their immigrant patients well. I notice it & also notice when some doctors have displayed bigoted behaviours towards immigrants (who aren't fully literate, like Mom). Real glad that I had no reasons to draw out my defensive tiger daughter claws, today 🐯

*Avoid Victoria Eye Clinic (it's horrible) if possible. Ask for referral to Dr. Pedago, if you need cataracts.*

Spinning around an #anatomical model of human #eye. At cataracts doctor office.
About to leave now.
The doctor & 2 assistants who worked with us for almost 2 hours were good about wearing masks for Mom's appointment 😷

Went to Ophthalmologist yesterday and spent over an hour in his office.
This is part of the annual extensive checkups the region offers for free for those over 60 with diabetes.
Never had seen pictures of my eyes before. It was interesting.

All done with Mom's eye diagnostics appointment. We're back at this office on Friday to start her eye injections for diabetes related retinol disease. We've been given a referral to a cataracts specialist - Mom has cataracts in both eyes & will need surgery at some point.
We talk to doctor, next.
Mom, #spooning at eye clinic.
