Retinal issues from while putting motorcycle on main stand

[sidlennon]

Hi Sir

Thank you for the service you provide here. I was treated for retinal tear in my left eye using laser 9 month back. Everything is fine now.

Today I tried to put my 200 cc motorcycle on main stand and it got disbalanced a bit. I had to use some force to steady the falling bike. I felt some pressure on face and eyes.

I am very scared it might have weakened my retina. Please help.

It is very unlikely you damaged your retina.  The type of injury we would worry about would be a direct blow to the eye. So you should be okay. In any case the symptoms that are worrisome are: sudden increase of floaters, bright flashes like lightening in eye and loss of peripheral vision.    Be sure you wear a helmet when you drive your motorcycle, they are intrinsically dangerous.

Thanks Sir. So you mean to say that the pressure I felt on my face has nothing to do with retina ?
I know it is difficult to give a YES or NO answer, but the chances would be less than 0.1 %

I can't tell that from here but it is not a symptom that is common for retina tear or RD.   Nor can it be quantitated as you wish.   If you are ultra worried call your eye surgeon and discuss.
