I have glocoma and I must take medicine to reduce the pressure in my eyes. Today I ran out.
I went to the eye doctor and he said that in Russia these drugs do not require a prescription. Go to the pharmacy and buy them.
So I went and both medications cost a total of $5.
I was astounded! In the USA my co-pay was $5 for each of them, and one would have been over $50 if I had purchased it without the VA.
A big shout out to the people who follow me. Unfortunately I’ve had to leave Russia. It became impossible to receive any funds from the US. I am currently living in Batumi, Georgia.
This is my family in the living room of my apartment in Kimovsk, Russia. I am a disabled Vietnam veteran. Seventy six years of age. My son Aleksandr (left), and my granddaughter Dasha (center) look in on me. Here, I had hoped to live out my retirement years.
