Swimming after Retinal Detachment?

Hi all, as if COVID wasn't bad enough (no swimming, no anything!), my retina detached 2 days after everything closed down here. I can't lift for 4 months, but per the surgeon, swimming is fine. (2 months post surgery). Of course, pools are closed here, but hopefully not for much longer. Has anyone had this surgery and if so, did your retina detach after you resumed swimming? I am terrified. I was lucky to catch is early and have a good surgeon, but suffered significant vision loss. Apparently, the retina can detach again.

  • Please keep me posted on your daughter's surgery outcome. Went well. Was easier than expected. But was more painful for my daughter, so that wasn't so great. But we'll be back in 10 days for the next follow-up. Should know more then.
