My little boy had an eye exam and his prescription reads like this:


OD: +2.75 -1.5 180
OS: +2.75 -1.5 180

What does this mean? I've gone online and researched it, but what keeps throwing me is the plus sign before the first number, since he can't see things that are far away. The dr. said that he'll be corrected to 20/40. What is he seeing now, based on this prescription?

Do you think that First Aid as a section should be removed,as some of the advice given is dangerous and obviously wrong and do you think if vunerable ppl followed this bad advice Yahoo answers could end up being sued or worse.

All my life I'm been very stressed out and depressed. Especially last year when it was the worst. Now that I'm a year older I learned how to cope with it and I'm now happier. But I guess I'm still stressed and somewhat depressed from my parents pressuring about future universtiy plans, extracuricular. My parents are nagging me constantly so I don't find a lot of time to de-stress. (It's very hard to do schoolwork partially because of that). (It's hard to meditate or to do yoga...because I don't get any peace and quiet). Any healthy (legal) tips on how to destress?

I have had nervous ticks since i was 13. I am 25 now, and I have mostly learned to live with it but lately the ticks or muscle spasms have been lasting for days, and if it stops it just starts up in another place. So if you can imagi having parts of you body move on its on over and over again, like my thumb, or the middle of my arm extc. its literally driving me crazy. Most of the time im just sitting around holding it so that I can feel it less. I have had thoughts of just getting a knife and cutting the parts that jump. I know it sounds crazy but what ever its making me crazy. I went to my doctor and he told me in alsmost these exact words, is that there are no medicines out there for these problems. And no one is going to pay billions of dollars to research a medicine to help cure a problem that is that rare. Then he gave me some Lexapro he said it should help me come down as far as stress over time, but the Lexapro was just making me feel even more insane along with the tic

Are all snake bites deadly if not immediately loked after? I mean the non poisonnous snakes. I presume one would need to go immediately to a hospital and get an antidote. How long before the poisonnous effets take place and what are the first signs?

Thank you.
