Don't worry about the weights unless you are hemmhoraging already. If they are going to bleed, they are going to bleed. I lifted weights after my panretinal photocoagulation. My optho and surgeon both said it was fine, just don't over-do it, whatever that meant. But if they are bleeding or if you are recovering from surgery, you don't want to make them worse.

I'd be concerned about waiting two years. If you have signs of growth, you should be back in three to six months, and you should have annual check-ups.
