Are golf, tennis, badminton, situp, weight training suitable 6 months after RD surgery ?

[taurus1203]

I had a scleral buckle  surgery 6 months ago. When I do golf, tennis, badminton, exercise like sit up, weight training, I feel a mild jolt to my eye. In general, I feel a mild jolt whenever need to stress my abdomen or have rapid eye movement.  I asked my surgeon and another eye doctor. They think this is harmless and I should be okay to do all of this.
Frankly, my eye will feel uncomfortable even after reading for more than 30 min.
Will there any concern if do all this ? Will that cause more damage to my eye ?
Thanks

As an experiment, you could try reading for 30+ minutes with your eye patched.  Possibly, the pain you are having is caused by eye muscle strain from the stress of using both eyes together.

Your surgeons are in the best position to give you an individualized answer.

In a study done on people that had had RD surgery after several months when the eye was healed most surgeons released them for normal activities. Note: boxing and other violent sports are not normal acitivies.
