I've got this red spot in my eye, and while it's not really painful, I'm worried about what might be causing it. Could this be a sign of something serious? Is it potentially harmful? What should I do about it?

Question

I noticed today that when I look at words far away, my vision gets a bit blurry, especially with my right eye. I'm wondering if there are any home remedies I can try for this.

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 recently had an eye exam and learned my eye pressure is pretty high. During the visit, the doctor asked if anyone in my family had glaucoma, and after I mentioned my optic nerve, she said there's a slight issue but not to worry. I'm curious, can I still do exercises like push-ups, pull-ups, and intense cardio? Is it okay to hit the gym, or could these activities affect my eye pressure?
