I really don't know anyone in your area but I would suggest UCLA Eye Center.  Myopic deneration is a very difficult problem to treat with basically nutritional supplements, and judicious use of avastin and sometimes laser treatments as the basic treatments available.  If you have already had 3 separate opinions - be careful that you don't get too desperate for help and fall for an unsafe and risky treatment by someone other than a board-certified retinal specialist ophthalmologist.  Good Luck, I know you are worried and frustrated and perhaps while we are on the subject maybe a support group could help your nerves while you find the right doctor.

What kind of myopic degeneration do you have and what was done about it by your doctors?

(I do not think yoga is very helpful in your case.)
