A member asked:
I am an overweight myope who has lattice degeneration and corrected detachments. what exercises can i safely do to lose weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Aerobic : Most exercises are safe. Avoid excercizes with risk if head impact. The key thing is to stop an excercize if you start to experience flashes and/or floaters. This is a symptom of vitreous traction on the retina and a possible retinal tear.
