I suffered a detached retina about 3 years ago. I had been seeing stars and light flashes while riding my street bike, then one day while on a long ride it got much worse and I knew I had a serious problem.
I had my eye repaired and spent 3 months with very restricted movement while the eye healed, then another 9-12 months taking it pretty easy. I wasn't to ride a bike again for 2 years, and other than a charity run I've followed the Dr's orders.
Now I'm dying to get back on a bike but pretty nervous since the detachment manifested itself while I was riding. If anyone else has been through this and is riding again I'd like to know how your eye is doing, if you've had a recurrence, if you still have to take it easy, or if things are back to normal.
Thank you much!
