I was simply saying having to go every year for eye checkup just to keep your paid for protection active sounds like a way to get you to come in every year just to get more money out of you. Last time I went to get my eyes checked was 6 years ago now, as they request you come back 5 years later after the surgery (after the initial few month followup).
As someone mentioned, if your eyes are bad and have been getting worse perhaps it's worth it, but in my case it has been 12 years trouble free. At $150 up front per eye is $300 off the bat, and for 12 years of protection I would be out an extra $1380, so just have to see if it's worth it for you. I would be very careful reading through the fine text to see what it actually covers.
