Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.

I am Dr. Dadapeer K, an ophthalmologist and I will be answering your question.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having Stargardt' s disease.
Stargardt' s disease is a retinal dystrophy and there is no curative treatment. The only treatment available is use of low visual aids and your doctors are right in the diagnosis.

The intraocular pressure is in the normal range and no need to worry about it.

Hope this is helpful to you.

Thank you
With regards
I find this answer helpful
