Hi Lauren, I really like your signature at the end of your email.

Up until Maria told me that Medicare paid for artificial eyes, I 
had no idea that they would.  When I got mine in 1995, I was 
working and my insurance wouldn't pay anything.  Someone 
anonymously paid for mine.  They are definitely not cheap! And 
no, they aren't cosmetic, like jewelry.  I've had my original 
prosthetics since 1995.  That's almost 20 years.  Are you 
supposed to get new ones every so often? I can sure understand 
your needing to if you are in pain and that would make it 
medically necessary as far as I'm concerned.     Blessings,    
Debby
