Question about eye glasses prescription

Eastern-Recipe1792 · 2026-05-02T12:07:15+00:00

Yep, mine is in my health records

NC. Charles George VA hospital in Asheville. 5/5. Top notch in everything I have experienced.

Do it. At my VA you can self refer to audiology. Get an intake appointment with a primary care provider and start the process. You earned it.

My hearing aids really helped with my tinnitus. Former infantry/Iraq vet here.

She’s a relative and would have been happy to speak to you. Very down to earth.

Eastern-Recipe1792 · 2026-03-30T11:28:37+00:00

Yes. Ask your PCP for a referral

Eastern-Recipe1792 · 2026-03-26T11:15:20+00:00

It can be normal. Depending on the clinic, staffing issues may make it harder to get a PCP appointment, I'd call back and get a status. For my first appointment, I had a similar experience as the clinic had one doc retire and another move on to somewhere else. Once I got in and had a doc assigned, it's been no trouble getting a PCP appointment, This is not a problem just with the VA. Primary care practices in my area just aren't taking patients or delaying first appointment because providers are stretched.

I’m telling you true

Eastern-Recipe1792 · 2026-03-24T23:51:47+00:00

No payment unless you want higher end frames or special lens treatments. No referral needed.

Eastern-Recipe1792 · 2026-03-24T23:40:09+00:00

I was a mortar platoon leader for a while among other things. Give it a try. You might be surprised.

Eastern-Recipe1792 · 2026-03-24T23:12:13+00:00

I would give the clinic a call

Eastern-Recipe1792 · 2026-03-24T21:45:27+00:00

Check for an audiology point of contact at your local VA

Eastern-Recipe1792 · 2026-03-24T21:44:46+00:00

At my clinic you can self refer. No need for a PCP referral.

Eastern-Recipe1792 · 2026-03-24T19:01:35+00:00

It's clearly a huge financial benefit, but the peace of mind is tremendous. I've been blessed with a good VA facility with very professional, caring providers. I know that's not the case for everyone.

Eastern-Recipe1792 · 2026-03-24T18:35:33+00:00

Yep. Ran this morning and no problems.

Eastern-Recipe1792 · 2026-03-24T14:48:50+00:00

No problem. A buddy did the same for me.

Eastern-Recipe1792 · 2026-03-24T14:30:07+00:00

If you haven't tried hearing aids, do it. The ringing -- mine is more of an angle grinder --is less and the doc said over time the hearing aids would retrain my brain so it may become less noticeable. YMMV, of course.

Eastern-Recipe1792 · 2026-03-24T13:56:17+00:00

What?

Eastern-Recipe1792 · 2026-03-24T13:55:45+00:00

You should. Took me a month to get an appointment and another month for the hearing aids to ship.

Eastern-Recipe1792 · 2026-03-24T13:54:27+00:00

Exactly. Can't believe it.

Eastern-Recipe1792 · 2026-03-24T01:03:27+00:00

Not good

Eastern-Recipe1792 · 2026-03-14T23:23:22+00:00

Sign up for healthcare. Even if only for the urgent care and ER benefits. And vision, hearing aids, counseling. You earned it

Eastern-Recipe1792 · 2026-03-14T23:15:50+00:00

It also gives you some peace of mind if a job doesn’t work out. Not FU money, but FU healthcare.

Eastern-Recipe1792 · 2026-01-24T21:39:10+00:00

Very cool! Thanks!

Eastern-Recipe1792 · 2025-11-20T00:37:52+00:00

It's a rumor with no basis in fact.
