Eye pressure
Hello,
I recently visited for an eye examination where I found out that my eye pressure was really high. The doctor also asked if anyone in my house was having glaucoma. I had read about glaucoma so I asked her whether I had any problem in the optic nerve to which she responded that there was slight issue but no need to worry. So I want to ask whether I can perform push ups, pull ups, and high intensity cardiovascular exercises. Can I hit the gym? Will the above things affect my eye pressure?
