I went to the optician today and I need to get some glasses. I have some basic knowledge about ophthalmology as I'm about to be a doctor, so I know the basics about how light focuses on the eye etc etc. And I understand the basic concept of astigmatism and how the eye is shaped more lke a rugby ball than a football....

Anyway, my prescription from the optician is:

R: SPH -1.00 CYL -0.50 Axis 115
L: SPH -1.25 CYL - 0.50 Axis 90

I understand that it shows myopia in both eyes, left slightly worse than right, but what do the other numbers mean? It's something to do with the degree of astigmatism, but what do they actually show? And what does that mean in terms of my eyes?

Just interested!!!

I recently bought a 91 acura. I had it checked, and the guy said it was alright. But, I was getting a tire put on and the mechanic said he noticed a leak in the transmission seal. I have noticed that the car does leak. When I look under the car, it is leaking on the left side, kind of by where the transmission fluid dipstick is. The dipstick says the level is ok. The car runs pretty well, except sometimes its slow going up hills. I just tried to start it and it made starting noises but the engine wouldnt engage. But, I think its just the gas, I may be out :) Hopefully. The mechanic who said this is a tranny seal leak said it would cost 1000 dollars to fix. First, does this sound like a tranny seal? and second, is that estimate correct? Thanks.

I am trying to increase my GB space on my C:/ and I'm confused about which to buy at Dell.com. Should I buy memory or a hard drive? I looked at the memory options on Dell and as far as I can tell, the most space available on a thing of memory is about 512 MB which doesn't seem like that much. I want to increase my storage by about 20-30 GB. Any suggestions?

My friend and I are both 18 years old. We are both the same height 5'6" and the same weight between 125 and 130 lbs. The problem is that my friend is constantly concerned about her weight. She calls herself fat and is constantly startind new diets and then quiting them again. She asks my weight often and if I am even a pound heavier than her she says she needs to go on a diet. I think that my friend and I are both an ideal weight and I feel that she may develop a eating disorder. Am I right to be worrying about this? and should I consult some?

I know it's really cheesy and naive, but the actors/actresses make it look very real on TV and in movies. So i was wondering if they are doing the actual thing?

I would like to upgrade to cable broad band internet but my house isn't wired for cable. Can I buy a wireless cable modem and wireless cards for all my computers or does the wireless modem have to be connected to one of the computers? Thanks for any help. :)

If I cheat on my girlfriend, it's not because I love her any less, or I want to leave her or anything like that. It's only a sex thing. I smash other women, but I make love to her. These other broads get nothing, and she gets everything. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying that I just smash everything female I can, but I'm not married u know? Am I wrong for that?

should you give her time before trying to communicate with her again or should you just try to get her back right away?

I live in an apartment in california. Recently I had to have a leak under the kitchen sink fixed. I noticed today the leak came through the walls into the living room and now there is black mold on the living room wall and all under my kitchen sink. I cant find anything about the laws on that in apartments in california. Is the landlord supposed to clean it up??? I am 8 and a half months pregnant and I very worried about it.
