Hello doctor.I'm 19 years old with a myopia of 6.25(L) and 6.75(R),my myopia have not increased for more than 3 years.It is stable now .I want to have a eye check next month.what i wanna ask is :IF my checking result is FINE(in other words, NO retinopathy in my eyes),in my situation, is it safe for me to play basketball with proper eye protection?would you allow your patients who have the similar condition to me to play basketball?or are their any constraints on playing basketball?(frequency, body contact, head injury,etc.)i've been playing basketball for 3 years but i have much concern about RD these days so I stopped playing basketball 8 months before.Could you give me some suggestions about the prevention of RD?what are some other activities that you will tell your patients with high myopia NOT to do?SORRY to take you so much time again,Sir.But i think you can understand my feeling.I'm still very young and i want to repay my family and the people who love me.So i should have a healthy body through exercises.If i get RD due to sports how can i do good things to my family and other people...
Most of the MDs in my country(China) won't allow high myopia people to play "violent" sports,and they always consider basketball as a "violent" sport. I am confuse about this .what should i do?Hope you can give me an answer.Thank you very much,Sir!God bless you!!!
