My uncle has degenerative myopia and we've seen several ophthalmologists who all say there's no cure available worldwide. Is there any treatment or eye surgery that could help his condition? We're open to any options that might improve his vision

Unfortunately, degenerative myopia currently has no cure. However, some treatments, such as retinal injections or surgery for retinal detachment, may help slow down vision loss. You should explore advanced treatment options with an experienced ophthalmologist.

I just had my Lasik preliminary testing done with Dr Anagha Heroor in Dombivli East and the reports look good. The doctor said I'm a suitable candidate for Lasik but I'm a bit unsure should I go ahead with the surgery now or wait a few years since I'll be pursuing MBA and other courses soon? I don't have any major health issues like diabetes or asthma and I'm not on any regular meds. Would love to hear other ophthalmologists' opinions based on my test reports

ophthalmologist opinion is advised to the pt.

My right eye doesn't open as much as my left one, and it makes them look uneven. Would eyelid surgery help fix this so they match better?

Eyelid ptosis can be corrected by minor eyelid surgery to improve symmetry and function; consult an oculoplastic surgeon for evaluation.
