A member asked:
I have lattice degeneration. what exercises should i avoid? can i lift weights, do pull ups, plank and push ups?

I do not think you should restrict with any type of common exercises for this condition. All you need is to follow your eye surgeon as recommended. Do not worry too much because the LONG TERM CHANCE of retinal detachment in patients with lattice is not that high, around 0.5% to 0.7%, i.e. less than 1 in 100 patients.
