I have been diagnosed as having a torn retina in my right eye. My sight is i'd say about 80% distorted. I was given the news yesterday at the local hospital, it's bad but it could've been worse as i had a head and neck tumour 5 years ago and you always fear the worse when something unusual appears in that area. I'm waiting for a call from the hospital to arrange a date for an operation, and they've told me to take it easy, but i'm not the feet up and relax type. They asked me if i'd had a recent trauma i told them about the incident about 2 months ago when i came off my bike and bumped my head, luckily wearing a helmet at the time. They said the injury is severe enough to only have been caused by such an impact!
Has anyone had a similar injury, if so did you make a good recovery and is cycling still possible before and after the operation?
