Message: [QUOTE="OrangeinNH, post: 2001772, member: 1909"] I'm an eye surgeon in a group practice with a busy retina specialist. I'd be fairly shocked if he plays again this year (this is the same injury Amare Stoudamire dealt with years back). Long story short, if the central retina was still attached at the time of repair, there's reason to believe that he'll return to good vision in that eye. However, it's pretty common to develop a cataract after retina surgery and this could easily start a spiral that makes it more challenging to play basketball. Hoping the best for Paschal. The only scenario where he could be back in weeks would be if he only had a retinal tear without detachment, and what they are calling a surgery was just a laser procedure (retinopexy), but it doesn't sound like it:-( [/QUOTE]
