Thanks for the replies ausdoc and Circuit Basher. I had the op on the 21st which involves placing a silicone sponge in your eye to basically press the detached retina back into place.I'm 34,not short sighted and don't recall any bad knocks to merit the above,so the doc is a bit baffled as to how and why! I was told I could return to work by the surgeon in 7 days which I thought was a bit optimistic after eye surgery, however I kept an open mind on the situation.
Anyway its now the 31st and I can't even focus on large letters several inches away, so I think as you guys said a cautious approach is needed before flying again.
My revisit to the surgeon is on Apr the first, so I'll be asking both the surgeon and the CAA doc many questions.It is frustrating but I'll view this situation as a rest before the busy summer ahead!Thanks again Pudd
