Hi
Welcome to Health care magic.
I went through the history you have provided here. It seems from the history that you are having macular degeneration of the retina and diabetes and hypertension.
Macular degeneration is bascially because of ageing and treatment for this is possible. The recent modes of treatment like laser and intravitreal anti vascular endothelial factors are known to be of help and to prevent blindness.
Do consult your eye doctor for examination and treatment.
Hope this is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.
