Eye  Monitoring & Gym Safety Concerns

2025-02-21 12:03:42
I'm 21 years old . 3.5 years ago, I had multiple retinal holes in both eyes and underwent 360-degree barrage laser. My retina is currently stable. Three years ago, my left eye had an IOP of 22 mmHg, but it has been normal since then. However, a week ago, my IOP was 21 mmHg in both eyes. Due to my history, the doctor recommended OCT and VFT. My VFT was normal, and OCT thickness was in the green zone. But close to yellow in two place . The doctor mentioned my cup-to-disc ratio is 0.67, whereas the normal range is around 0.3, and said my optic disc is deep. They advised close monitoring and a follow-up in a year. Is that too long to wait? Also, I’m skinny and want to gain weight. Can I go to the gym and do exercises like weightlifting, pull-ups, and push-ups? Also play sports like badminton,tennis? Will that cause any bad  effet on iop or retina

Hi You didn’t mention whether you are taking anti glaucoma medication or not.If not,it is advisable to start immediately.Close monitoring and regular checkups every 3-6 months is mandatory for IOP and Retina.Otherwise it won’t effect any of your daily routine.Can consult for further assistance
