I am waiting for a Cyroptherapy to fix a tear in my retina. Can I play sports and lift weights in the mean time? Kindly advise. Thanks.
 
Can retinal holes get worse or develop further? My father is having one in his left eye but the doctor said having surgery on it will not assure a hundred percent cure of the hole. We are not sure what to do with it. Thanks
 
I have been diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa. How often should I get an eye exam?
 
I understand that a person with AMD (dry eye) should check their vision with the Amsler grid regularly and report any changes immediately to their doctor but why the urgency? Is there a treatment that is time sensitive?
 
My father-in-law has macular degeneration that started about eight years ago. He has seen several eye specialists with no positive prognosis.
 
My husband's doctor has told him he has a macular hole. I would like to know a little more about this and what is the best treatment for it. Thank you.
