Im 18 i am about -7.00 in both eyes im not near or far sighted just a terrible amount of astigmatism.my doctor said that soft contacts would not give me good enough vision so im either stuck with glasses of hard contact lenses.is there a surgery to fix my problem and at what age can it be done.thanks

Well if you're not nearsighted, you're saying you have -7.00 CYLINDER in both eyes?

right now there is no great surgery for that amount of astigmatism. lasik really cant do that much, not accurately. neither can PRK. if someone mentions "implantable contacts" or "phakic iols", they dont come in 7 diopters of cylinder yet, either.

so the short answer is...unfortunately no. RIGID bitorc contacts are probably your best bet IMO for the best possible vision at this time in your case

I have been told that I need surgery for fallen arches. I have used inserts for my shoes for years, but the pain continues. I have been told that I will need to be in a cast for three months, and then a "boot". I have also been told of the risks involved. I need to make a decision soon, but I am having a terrible time making a decision. Is it too risky? If I don't have it done, what will happen as I age? Any suggestions or comments would be helpful.

I could help and it wouldn't require you to have surgery, just perform some exercises. If interested, contact me, k.sordo@gmail.com

I have a slight underbite. How much will the corrective surgery affect my appearance?

Ok so I'm 17 and am supposed to have corrective jaw surgery to fix a slight underbite in about 5 months if i choose. Has anyone had this who can tell me how different you looked afterwards? I'm worried that it will change my appearance drastically and make my face look unnatural. Please answer if you've already been through the procedure.

In most cases it will change your appearance slightly, and your face will be more attractive. (Underbite is the polite term for weak jaw.) It will, of course, look quite different to you, but other people will probably just ask what your new sport is or who you met that has you looking so happy.

My sisters dog, a chihuahua about 4 months old has cherry eye, it barely appeared a few weeks ago. i've noticed that it comes and goes depending on her level of stress, when she gets really mad it pops out, it shes calm it goes back in.

i was wondering how much does surgery cost, in az, to put it back in place?

That is something you would have to discuss with your vet. all vets have different pricing. don't necessarily go with the cheapest though, go with the one you trust.

My hubby had corrective surgery for lazy eyes 3 days ago.
Both of his eyes were corrected, but now he look cross eyed.
It it possible the doctor over corrected his eyes?
Or will it take some time for them both to adjust and the muscles to strengthen themselves?

If he had surgery for lazy eye then it will probly take a little for his muscles to strengthen, but I would call the doctor back and explain to them what your concerns are, they should answer any kind of questions you have.
