My ankle, and my eyes


Question Posted Wednesday April 26 2006, 4:46 pm

Triple G... last time today, I promise *(or do I?) but from the day I was born, I've had this leg problem. Everytime I walk, it's like I'm doing a bad imitation of a model. not on purpose, I naturally walk like that. Have any idea what it is?

Inherited from my dad ( mentally ill dad) I have bad eyes. No, i'm talking really bad. Whenever I go to the opthamologist to get new glasses, they always say wait a few days, they need to order a lens this thick, that normally not many people have these kinds of eyes. I'm gonna have laser surgery ( not now or in the next 10 years) but I was just wondering if it would hurt. My dad had laser surgery but his eyes got bad again, so he still wears glasses, though not as thik as they used to be. By the time I get laser surgery, probably when I'm in my late twenties, early thirties do you think they will come up with a less painful way? People I've asked said that the laser surgery hurt, including my dad. I rate 5.

I'm not sure what a bad imitation of a model would be, so it's hard for me to answer this part of your question. The main thing I wonder about is pain - if this causes you physical discomfort or pain, it's important to see a doctor.

As for your eyes, there's no telling what sort of advances could be made in laser surgery. Right now, there are about three main surgeries, and each is done differently (and has different possible side affects). Medical techonology is always developing at a fantastic rate, so whatever we have available to us now will only be bigger and better by the time you decide to have this surgery.

Some considerations in light of current standards would be exactly how bad your presciption was. Beyond a certain point, many surgeons will not perform the operation.

However, that may not be a consideration in 15 years time. In the meantime, ask your doctor about getting ultra-thin lenses. They're made out of a high index material which allows them to be much thinner - you can also ask about the shape of glasses that is best suited to you.

The bit that your pupil looks through is much thinner than the edges of the lenses, so a smaller frame might help chop off some of the thicker sides.
