Many people with glaucoma have the perception that having glaucoma is like having a terminal illness, and that they can’t do anything, neither read books or newspapers, nor use their eyes, let alone participate in sports activities, and can only order eye drops at home. In fact, this view is wrong. In fact, glaucoma patients are able to do physical exercise, especially physical exercise, because moderate physical exercise can make our whole body vascular expansion, reduce the scleral venous reflux resistance, reduce intraocular pressure; and can increase the blood supply of the optic nerve, to provide more nutrition to the optic nerve; more importantly, appropriate physical exercise, especially outdoor exercise, can make glaucoma patients contact More importantly, proper physical exercise, especially outdoor exercise, can make glaucoma patients contact more people, so that they no longer focus only on the disease itself, but put more attention on life, which makes patients feel comfortable and helps them recover from the disease. Scientists studied different types of aerobic fitness exercises, such as cycling, walking, marathon running, jogging, swimming, and gymnastic training, and then judged the intensity of aerobic exercise based on the time it took for IOP to drop significantly. In the end, it was concluded that the time and degree of IOP drop does not depend on the duration and intensity of aerobic exercise – as long as you stick to proper exercise, it will help in the treatment of glaucoma. However, not all exercise is appropriate for glaucoma patients. First, people with glaucoma should avoid strenuous exercises, such as playing soccer, basketball, volleyball, heavy running, aerobics and any equipment for fitness. This makes the optic nerve, which is already undersupplied with blood, even more ischemic and hypoxic; at the same time, strenuous exercise makes the blood vessels in the limbs dilate while those in the head and viscera constrict, resulting in increased resistance to venous reflux in the sclera and eventually an increase in intraocular pressure. In addition, if glaucoma patients do strenuous exercise after surgery, the already fragile blood vessels can rupture, causing intraocular hemorrhage, retinal detachment, choroidal detachment and other more serious complications, or worse, may lead to blindness. Therefore, patients with glaucoma must avoid strenuous exercise and heavy physical work. Secondly, glaucoma patients should not do prolonged head-down, bending or squatting exercises, such as yoga inversions, weight lifting, sit-ups, etc. Because long time head down, bending or squatting movement can make the jugular vein’s blood return resistance increased significantly, so that the suprascleral vein’s return resistance increased, so that the glaucoma patients are already relatively high intraocular pressure further increase, aggravate the damage to the optic nerve, so that the condition is aggravated. In addition, it should be noted that it is very important to drink enough water before, during and after exercise, but it should be drunk slowly. Drinking all 800 to 1000 ml of water within 15 to 30 minutes may also lead to an increase in intraocular pressure. Therefore, patients with glaucoma should do moderate exercise under the guidance of a specialist, such as climbing, walking, doing exercises, playing tennis, hiking, etc.; they should consult a glaucoma specialist when starting any exercise of higher intensity to clarify whether their condition is suitable for such exercise; they should choose the appropriate exercise according to their condition. In conclusion, choosing a reasonable and appropriate form of exercise and being consistent with it can help a lot in maintaining physical and mental health and controlling the disease throughout life.
