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.

Question

I'm curious about my strabismus since I've had it since childhood. I don't have a lazy eye because both of my eyes have 69 acuity with 4D power. If I decide to get cosmetic surgery for the squint, what are the chances I'll end up with perfectly aligned eyes and no recurrence of the squint for the rest of my life? From what I've read, recurrence seems to happen mainly in people with a lazy eye, but since I'll be using both of my equally efficient eyes together after surgery, does that mean the squint might not come back? Could you guide me on this?

Question

I've been using my air conditioner in the room for quite a while, and now I'm experiencing some pain and redness just in my left eye. It's really uncomfortable, especially since I can't even close my left eye properly because the upper lid hurts, and there's this reddish tint on the lower lid. On top of that, I'm trying to study for my exams, which makes it even more frustrating. Do you have any recommendations for something that can help soothe this?
