How to exercise to recover from glaucoma

Glaucoma patients can do some aerobic fitness exercise, pay attention to avoid strenuous exercise. Glaucoma patients’ exercise is best carried out in outdoor light conditions, because dark light conditions may lead to pupil dilation, blocking the angle of the atrium, inducing acute closed-angle glaucoma. Outdoor exercise can choose some slow walking, swimming and other aerobic exercises, but you need to arrange the exercise reasonably according to the intraocular pressure. Exercise can reduce the reflux resistance of the suprascleral vein, thus lowering the intraocular pressure, increasing the nutrition and blood supply of the optic nerve, and playing a certain effect on the recovery of glaucoma. Patients with glaucoma need to be careful to avoid strenuous exercise, because strenuous exercise may cause patients to have increased intraocular pressure, optic nerve ischemia, hypoxia and other conditions, which is not conducive to the patient’s recovery. Patients suffering from glaucoma are advised to consult a doctor in time to find out the cause of the disease and get better treatment with the help of the doctor.
