Talk to your ophthalmologist about Medicare paying - they have to code it a certain way that indicates it is necessary due to a medical condition and the drugs you are taking. My eyes were tested every 3 months for 2 years with no issue.

I was getting my eyes checked monthly when I was on the ethambutol....my dr suggested every three months, but I was scared to death to wait that long. I had no peace. Now that I am off the meds, no more monthly eye checks. the tinnitus from the azithromycin seems to be waning some.....I hope it goes away totally in time. i don't like it at all. some people don't get any side effects...it's such an individual journey, yet the same in many ways.....????
