High myopia and tennis
Hello I am a 31 years old male with high myopia（both eyes over 1000）. I has LASIK surgery 3 years ago and result is very good. I give up basketball because of concern of any possibility of retinal tear or detachment. Now I am considering to learn playing tennis. My question is for my individual case or generally speaking can high myopia person like me play tennis? Thank you very much.

Tennis is fine as long as you wear athletic frames to protect your eyes. Basketball would also be okay as long as you wear proper eye protection. Regular glasses and frames are not adequate eye protection. Prescription or non prescription athletic eye protection are not expensive.
