My uncle has degenerative myopia and we've seen several ophthalmologists who all say there's no cure available worldwide. Is there any treatment or eye surgery that could help his condition? We're open to any options that might improve his vision
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Unfortunately, degenerative myopia currently has no cure. However, some treatments, such as retinal injections or surgery for retinal detachment, may help slow down vision loss. You should explore advanced treatment options with an experienced ophthalmologist.

View allwill the medical examiners be able to tell if i had lasik surgery done when i go for my recruitment tests i'm worried they might notice my eyes were corrected
During a recruitment medical exam, LASIK surgery typically won't be noticeable unless it's recent. Most examiners won’t detect past LASIK unless they specifically test for vision correction history.

I had cataract surgery 4 months ago and was prescribed systane ultra eye drops with polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol to use twice daily for a year. It's quite expensive are there any other options for managing dry eyes that might be more affordable? Sometimes my eyes still feel dry even with the drops.
ophthal opinion is advised to the pt.

My left eye keeps drifting outward away from my nose could this be exotropia? What causes it and are there any non-surgical ways to fix it or stop it from getting worse? I'm really worried about this happening
Yes, an outward drifting of your left eye could be exotropia, a type of strabismus (eye misalignment) where one or both eyes turn outward. While the exact cause isn't always clear, it can be related to genetics, eye muscle weakness, or neurological conditions. Non-surgical treatments like vision therapy, patching, and glasses may help manage or even correct the condition, but surgery might be necessary in some cases. It's best to consult with an eye doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment options.
