it does take some time after extraction before dentures can be fitted. A month at least. It is a bit concerning that the dentist already took mold and made the dentures, in my experience would do that only after full healing. I.e. first extraction, them a month or two later, once healed, make the mold for the dentures then return for the fitting.

Indeed I am not sure you can get a new, local, accident policy at your age...but AA Brokers would know best.

I assume you refer to Chula aftet hours clinic since thete is a vast diffrtence in cist between the publuc vhannek and any private hospital. While it is true that consultation costs aren't much less at Chula after hours clinic than at nonprofit hospitals like Bangkok Christian, St Louis etc, diagnostic procedures and treatments cost many times more. BNH is a high end for-profit private hodpital costing more than Bangkok Christian and the like.

The difference between fear and anxiety is fear has a clear object/cause while anxiety does not.

Better confirm this includes lens as sounds like govt hosp price

Would not make much sense. a better -- and cheaper -- approach would be to fit the standard lenses such that one eye is 20/20 and the other eye a bit nearsighted. ("Monovision"). Most people adjust well to this, I did same thing with Lasik surgery 25 years ago and worked well for me. But a small number of people just can't adjust so good idea to first do a trial first via contact lens in one eye.

A cataract operation involves complete removal of the lens and replacement with an artificial lens. There isn't any "scrap" that can be removed. The lens itself has hardened and become opaque. So must be removed.

The main consideration is the type of lens implanted. For standard lens, at govt hospital usually around 20k baht, give or take. For progressive lenses, maybe 40k the difference being entirely the lens cost. Main advantage to progressive lenses is that one may be able to avoid need gor reading glasses. On the other hand not everyone adjusts to them. Most people opt for standard lenses and use reading glasses as needed.
