At first i wasnt sure if it was appropriate to post messages like this but some others did and got responses so i will. a couple of years ago I had a retinal detachment and underwent surgery for it(scleral buckle). My retina has been successfully attached for about a year and half. I'm severely near-sighted and understand that they are most prone to detachments. My question is will playing ice or roller hockey(with helmet and face cage) be a big risk for detachment. The opthalmologist basically said absolutely, you are just asking for another retinal detachment. I just want some opinions from some of you guys.
