I'm really worried about my dad's eye condition. He went to the hospital by himself, and he's saying he needs to use atropine in the morning and at night, one drop each time, and moxifloxacin every hour. That sounds right according to the doctor's instructions, but I'm confused because as per the prescription, he's also supposed to use itraconazole and natamycin every hour. My dad is telling me the doctor advised him to start those only after finishing atropine and moxifloxacin. I'm 600 km away and it's stressing me out not being there to help. Can you help me make sense of what should be done first?

Question

My eyes seem to be getting deeper compared to last year. Could you help me understand what might be causing this and possibly suggest a solution? I'm quite concerned about it.

I'm Velmurugan, I'm 28 and from Chennai. After finishing college, I've been running a textile business for the past six years. But for the last year, I've been experiencing these blackouts whenever I focus on something like a book or a face. So, I went to a well-known eye hospital, and they told me its dry macular degeneration. The doctor mentioned there's no cure and I just have to live with it. Is there any hope or anything I can do about this? I've attached the scan reports too. Can someone guide me on possible treatments or actions I should take? I'm really worried about this and would appreciate any advice.
