I have a prescription of -5 in my left eye and -4.5 in my right eye with 2.5 astigmatism in both eyes. Would I be a good candidate for LASIK? I'm really concerned about potential side effects like bad night vision, halos, and chronic dry eye after the surgery how likely are these to happen? What are the success rates for someone with my prescription? Could LASIK actually get me to a point where I don't need glasses anymore?

My uncle has degenerative myopia and optic atrophy according to his medical reports, but CNVM isn't mentioned. The doctors we've seen say there's no cure for his condition, but I heard CNVM might have treatment options. How can we find out if he has CNVM? Are there specific tests or symptoms we should look for?

To determine if your uncle has myopic CNVM, it's crucial to seek a comprehensive eye exam and imaging tests. While CNVM is a condition associated with degenerative myopia, it's not always present and might not be immediately apparent during a routine eye exam
