laser eye surgery and pregnancy

How do I afford laser eye surgery (Pregnancy)?

Does any one know how the average person affords laser eye surgery. Im currenly 14 weeks pregnant, and only earn £97 a week in wages in a supermarket. I only have £1100 savings but that is needed for the baby etc. It would take me years and years to save up as it would cost £3500 because im a minus 6.75 in both eyes. Thats bad. I spend a fortune on glasses and contact lenses and getting fed up with wearing them. I cannot get a loan because I dont earn enough money to pay it back and I cannt get credit. My boyfriend works and earns loads of money as an accountant, we live together and he has the mortgage, i just pay him a little rent. He hasnt really got any savings. We are both in our 30′s. Any ideas. Im sooo blind!

you can’t afford it and can’t have it done while you are pregnant.

That is a high prescription but you’ll just have to live with it. Remember it is not necessary to spend a fortune on specs. The £25 ones from Specsavers work just as well.

with a rich boyfriend you shouldn’t have these money worries if you have a solid relationship. Time he learnt to save as well; no job is safe now.
