I wear corrective glasses and have had surgery in the past, both laser surgery to correct my vision and surgery to correct a turned in eye at 2 years of age, which they overcorrected!.

Answers:
Do you have private health insurance!? If so then you probably can have fairly low cost surgery to achieve a cosmetic (but probably not functional) improvement!. It may be possible to have it done through the public system, but I suspect this surgery is not available publicly for adults as the results are really only cosmetic!. You would need to talk to an ophthalmologist who specialises in this - ask your optometrist for a referral!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
