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?
