Keratoconus and exercise / gym

2021-10-03 11:25:08
Hi, I have keratoconus, done with cxl surgery 5years back. Can I go to gym? What are the strength training exercises I can do ?(Like push-up, sit-up, lunges,plank, squat, jumping jacks) Does doing these exercise increase Intraocular pressure and lead to keratoconus progression?
