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've had 3.5 distance vision for the past three years and wear glasses regularly. Lately, I've been seeing a lot about eye surgeries to get rid of glasses and contacts. I went to a well-known hospital for a consultation, and after some tests, the doctor said I'm eligible for LASIK surgery. They mentioned I could live glasses and contact lens-free after the procedure. But I'm a bit worried is LASIK really safe? Once it's done, will I actually be able to see clearly without glasses or contacts?

please approach a surgeon in apollo hospital

I'm a little concerned about my eye health and wanted some guidance. I have cylindrical power of 1.75 in both eyes, and I usually wear my glasses for reading, writing, using my phone or computer, and watching TV. Is it okay if I skip wearing them during other daily activities? I'm wondering if that would affect my vision or eye health. Could you give me some advice on this?
