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

My right eye power is 2.75 and left is 3. I wear contact lenses for about 10 hours daily and had laser surgery 10 years ago. For the last 3 years, my vision has been blurry. Can this be corrected? I prefer Ayurveda and take triphala powder with water every night. Are there any medicines, exercises, or dietary changes that could help me stop depending on glasses or contacts
