    So recently i was playing a 5 on 5 game at the park near my house, i go there everyday and i usually stay 3 to 4 hours a day because i just love basketball that much, so in this particular game there was a bounce pass that was deflected and hit me in the eye and doctors prognosis was majority blindness in right eye which sucks so much bc now my depth perception is so off that im gonna basically have to learn the game all over again :( FML BUT ILL ALWAYS LOVE BASKETBALL AND THE ROCKETS!!!!!!!

    Sorry dude, I didn't mean to deflect the bounce pass. I was just doing my Battier defense. Sorry about the eye though...

    Dont take it lightly. Go see different eye specialists.

    Forget basketball right now. Its about your eyesight.

    It's great you love basketball so much, but just make sure your health comes before trying to relearn the game. Good luck!

    Is this thread a serious one? If yes, please get a second opinion, and good luck.

    What the hell?? Nothing about the OP suggests that he was trolling, so I'm a little confused by some of the responses. Either way, if this IS a serious thread, then how can basketball even be on your mind right now?? This is about your EYESIGHT. Go get a second, third, and fourth opinion, and do whatever is necessary to regain your vision in that eye. Good luck man, I hope everything works out.

    Was it traveling that fast, or what exactly caused it? Sounds like an odd accident. Hopefully a second opinion says otherwise.
