I would love a detailed analysis of what this would look like in the US. My gut impulse is tens of thousands. Anyone know?

Am ophthalmologist in USA. Treat uveitis regularly. The two drops I routinely recommend are prednisolone and atropine, which can be bought for under $50 via Goodrx (don't get me started). The retina scan cash price at my office is $40. The basic eye exam fee is $112 for a new patient with dilation. Not sure what other testing they required.

Well, one MRI cost me $10,000, so likely a 6 figures bill
