Retinal degeneration prevention

[netterman]

I had retinal degeneration and my doctor advised not to do bungee jump, jogging.

Should I avoid becoming a taxi driver? (driving everyday full time)
Would vibrations/shocks of vehicle worsen the retinal degeneration?

Do I need to avoid doing push ups or weight lifting?

Thanks

I need more information, but I highly doubt that you should need to restrict being in a taxi or pushups. There are multiple types of retinal degeneration.

Best wishes,

This is the memo written by the eye doctor when she wanted to refer me to a specialist:
"Findings: Retinal degeneration at interior retina (OU)"

The eye specialist mention about symptoms of detachment, also told me to watch out for floaters, or flashes, or something like a curtain blocking the vision. The eye specialist told me there is lots of degeneration on the side.

Thanks
