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

I have keratoconus in both eyes and I'm really confused about my options. One doctor suggested surgery while another said contact lenses are better than surgery and recommended trying them first. I'm only 17 and not sure what to choose should I go for contacts or consider surgery right away? What would be the best option for someone my age?

Information is very less.need to know level of keratoconus. In my point collagen crosslinking gives very good results in halting progression but all datas are to be seen and then to be decided the plan of treatment.
