WizardofOzParticipantBucks swingman Chris Douglas-Roberts will return to the floor within the next month, but he’ll have to wear protective goggles for the remainder of his career.
What seemed like an innocent poke in the eye during practice turned out to be a torn retina and doctors told Douglas-Roberts that he could have lost vision in his right eye had he not had it treated when he did.
"I still have some blurred vision and I still see the floaters a little, but it’s much better than it was because I couldn’t see anything (out of the right eye) for a week," he said.
"It was very overwhelming," Douglas-Roberts said of the cryotherapy procedure to repair the retina. "I went in expecting to get some eyedrops. They put a lens in my eye and looked all around it and that took about six minutes.
"When they took the lens out, all of the nurses and doctors were walking out of the office looking really worried. So I’m just sitting there like, ‘What’s going on?’
"Then the nurse took me in the room and drew everything out, ‘OK, you have a huge tear in the retina.’ They said it was good they caught it early. They had to put a needle in my eye, and that was the worst.
"They froze the tear. It was the most painful thing ever."

JNixonParticipantThat’s rough injury right there. I can only imagine how much pain he’s in, and now he has to adjust to wearing goggles every time he plays ball.
