The Glaucoma Foundation has been funding groundbreaking glaucoma research for over 30 years.
Maintaining an active lifestyle with a daily routine of exercise is a good prescription for anyone, including people with glaucoma.
There is evidence that aerobic exercise (e.g. brisk walking, running, biking) performed on a regular basis can lower IOP. Exercise may also improve blood flow to the retina and optic nerve. If you need an incentive, remember once the aerobic exercise stops, your IOP will return to its earlier level. But before embarking on a new exercise regime, always discuss the pros and cons with your doctors.
Since it’s founding in 1984, The Glaucoma Foundation has never wavered from its principle mission: to fund cutting edge glaucoma research and to educate the public about glaucoma, its diagnosis, and its treatment. The support of individuals like you has provided us with the resources to deliver on this mission.
