Two time detached
Howdy, 56 year old mountain biker. Race endurance stuff finish 20 out of 30, stubborn more than fast. Xc no jumps, no major crashs 30 years of riding.Lots of gravel. 5.5 was my prescription. 4 years r ago right eye detached. Did the buckle... About a year later cataract. I remember my wife was convinced that Mt biking was the cause. I brought her in so she could hear from my doctor ( Baskin Palmer Dr smiddy, Miami FL). That i should just live my life and that my right eye was more stronger than the left. Surgery was July and by October i was riding and racing by December.
Over the next 4 years the left was full of floaters. March this year i saw flashes. 4 trips to weld the tears, so what, detached left retina April 14.
Doctor cleared me to resume full exercis last week and now that both have the buckle, I'm inclined to say screw it and not think about it, and go back, but i would love to find a cycling retina specialist for their opinion. Or understand what happens after buckle 20 30 years down the road. Sounds like one of us needs to find a riding retina doctor and we all chip in for the group consult...
