Lifting Weights -> Retinal Detachment?
Posted: 08-03-04 09:19am

Hi,

i have myopia around -4.50 for each eye and astigmatism in one eye. I am thinking of doing some heavy weights at the gym to bulk up. Can this lead to retinal detachment? I heard lifting weights increases your blood pressure which can put stress on your eyeballs. Would appreciate any advice.

Thanks
