Contact Sports!

Hi,

I had a small retinal tear repaired with laser three months again.  My doctor checked it again and she said that it has stabilized.  I used to play volleyball a lot before the retinal tear, but I have been scared to play since.  My doctor said that any exercise should be no problem for me, and that volleyball should be fine if I don't get hit in the head.  Do you think I should go back to playing volleyball which I love?  What about other contact sports?

Dear Nickady,

No one can predict whether you will get another retinal tear; however, if this one has been successfully repaired, then you can follow your doctor’s advice. If you are unsure, call his/her office to double check.
