Default Glaucoma

A new study says weightlifting could be bad for your eyes do to the increased intraocular preasure. This is only study of 30 men, and they were asked to hold their breath during the lift, so its hardly representive of good BB form. It does however point out that breathing correctly is just that much more important.

Default Re: Glaucoma

I just saw this too, on another site: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/5334116.stm

Not sure what to make of it yet. I certainally have never heard of a weightlifter developing eye problems.
