“…When the Valsalva procedure was stopped, the IOP rise was partially eased [5]. Low-intensity activity has been linked to a decrease or no change in intraocular pressure [4,[45][46][47]. In contrast, high-intensity physical activity causes a significant increase in IOP [45].…”

“…Prior to and after doing various resistance training configurations, researchers have examined the acute impact of strength training activities on IOP values [5,88]. There hasn't been any prior research that examined IOP behaviour during a typical resistance training session that is performed to muscle failure, despite the fact that some researchers have looked at the IOP alterations caused by a single continuous contraction [45,89].…”

“…Vieira et al investigated the effects of four repetitions of the bench press exercise at 80% of one-repetition maximum (RM) with and without holding their breath, finding significant IOP increases when participants followed the bench press protocol, and even greater increases when they held their breath [45].…”

To review the effects of exercise and other physical activities on intraocular pressure, which can lead to glaucomatous damage to the optic nerve. This can help in the prognosis in the early stages of glaucoma. Intraocular pressure reduction is currently the only treatment available for decreasing the risk of glaucoma progression so it is important to find additional ways to control it. This was the Perspective study after a literature review and Analysis of pertinent publications in the peer-reviewed literature. In this study, various findings have shown that intraocular pressure can be decreased or raised depending on the workouts and activities performed. Although we have not compared the amount of IOP drop or rise in different workouts, a general concept of which exercise/activity is beneficial or risky for glaucoma patients may be derived. When compared to isometric workouts, dynamic exercise has a greater effect on lowering IOP. The relative intensity of the exercise is the metric that most closely corresponds to the IOP-lowering impact. Activities including bungee jumping, yoga in a head-down posture, swimming goggles, and coffee ingestion soon before exercise, on the other hand, have been demonstrated to elevate IOP readings. Valsalva Maneuver performed soon after a hard workout can offset the activity's IOP-reducing effect. To avoid additional glaucomatous damage, glaucoma patients should avoid these activities that raise IOP.
