How myopic are you?
If both eyes are above 800 degrees, better play it safe. Do not participate in rough sport as the pressure from the spec on the cornea and the internal parts of the eye is strong.
Rough physical assertion can lead to retinal tear. Prolong retinal tear can lead to blindness if not operate upon. -
For those of you who are not so young and wearing thick spec.
If you stand in bright sunlight and you can see small black spot(s), you MAY (I only say may, not 100%. Your doctor is the best position to access you) have retina tear. Go and see your eye doctor, okie? -
hmmm... i think in the market they also have prescription goggles....Originally posted by dkyy:take up diving and sea sports ?

do you wear contacts when diving ?Originally posted by angrynor:mmm.... i got 600+ on both eyes.

for high degrees, is diving considered "risky" to the eyes due to the water pressure exerted during diving ?Originally posted by 00011000:How myopic are you?

any idea where or whom i can seek professional advice for diving and vision related issues ? -
Eye op is the best solution on hand.
Thailand professional hospital offering from 2k, my sis went. She came back with perfect eyesight. -
go doc ask whether u can cure ur eyes with lasik*, if cannot den too bad
-
Retinal tear will result in lots of floaters, not just 1 or 2. They should appear suddenly and in huge amounts.
High impact pressure sports, eg. bungee-jumping, roller coaster may result in retinal detachment on very myopic eyes due to the fast and hard impact on the already thin-stretched retina.
Thank you. -
Wah... really very high.Originally posted by dkyy:my degrees are 700 and 800 each eye

Diving goggles, frankly, isn't a substitute for your glasses as they are quite bad. That's based on personal experience.
But no harm trying, maybe you will have better results.
Meanwhile, if there's nothing you can do, just learn to relax your eyes and be closer to the nature. It helps a lot.
I practise qigong when I'm free, so my eyesight is pretty stable.
