My experience
I am 66 years old myopic with previously -5.75 vision.
On February 15 I underwent cataract surgery on my left eye. Then on March 1 I repeated the surgery on my right eye. Both lenses were replaced with a multi focal lense. My surgeon is a personal friend and is a very capable cateract specialist.
Things were going great and my vision was 20/20 and no need for reading glasses.
after the required healing process I resumed my normal activities. I am an avid cyclist, hiker, fly fisherman and pickle ball player. BTW. I’m retired.
I began training for an 80
mile gravel ride in July.
I had ridden a few rides without any issue. Then after a 35 mile gravel ride I came home to notice floaters in my left eye. Since my surgeon is a close friend, I called him immediately and he wasted no time and referred me a retinal specialist who did a laser procedure to repair a vitreous haemorrhage. I was back on the bike after 3 weeks. On week 4 after another 35 mile ride, the exact thing happened to my other eye. Same thing, visited my friend then had the laser. Now I’m sitting around for 2 more weeks trying to decide if I should ever ride gravel again or for that matter do anything.
I will be meeting with my retinal doc in a week but his first reaction was that there was no causality. The next time I ask him however, I need to be sure he understands the nature of my riding.
this has been my experience. I hope no one else has this issue.
