helicam 0 #1 August 10, 2002 Hiya....one of the students I work with asked this and I had no idea so I thought I would throw it out here...he suffers from a higher than normal pressure in his one eye and wants to know if that would preclude him from jumping anymore. I know a detached retina is a problem....any ideas? I am ready to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weid14 0 #2 August 10, 2002 probably best person to ask is Dr. Joel at nature's care eye center (they have a web site). he's an eye doctor and jumps so, he might give a better answer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewGuy 0 #3 August 11, 2002 The student should really see their ophthalmologist before continuing to jump if they have any conditions with their eyes that they are concerned might be complicated by jumping. People who have been diagnosed with such conditions will likely already have an ophthalmologist they can see. Cheers, NewGuy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That doctor mentioned above might be a good person to ask since he's not a whuffo. HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
