Weightlifting increases pressure within the eye

e caused by the air retained in the lungs when the subjects held their breath during intraocular pressure measurement," the authors write.

The authors note that a certain type of glaucoma (normal-tension glaucoma) is more common in individuals who are subjected to frequent changes in eye pressure. "Prolonged weightlifting could be a potential risk factor for the development or progression of glaucoma. Intermittent intraocular pressure increases during weightlifting should be suspected in patients with normal-tension glaucoma who perform such exercises," they conclude. "Patients with normal-tension glaucoma should be questioned as to a history of regular weightlifting."
