Hello. Thanks for posting your query.

If you have consulted an ophthalmologist, and after examination if it has been confirmed that nothing can be done, then you are mostly suffering from Macular/ Retinal Dystrophy, which is usually a genetic condition. Some dystrophies can also be progressive. Depending on how low your vision is, certain LVA ( Low-vision Aids ) might be of help. Unfortunately, this condition doesn't have any treatment. So i will recommend a genetic counselling before marriage, if you are not married yet. Also continue the B12 injection and anti-oxidant tablets which contain Lutein and Zeaxanthine. ( Tab. Vesoret/ Novoret ) once daily. Hope this helps.
Regards
