Glaucoma can be Avoided by Diligent exercise

Glaucoma is a condition of gradual loss of vision due to pressure on the eyeball is increased. By doing physical exercises will impact long term on decreasing risk factors for developing glaucoma
Researchers examined the association between physical activity and risk of glaucoma in 5650 men and women aged 48 to 90 years living in England. Using health and lifestyle questionnaire, participants rated their physical activity and combined with the conditions of work and leisure.
From 2006 to 2010, participants examined eye pressure, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure were measured. The results showed that physical exercise is being conducted in the stage some 15 years earlier associated with a reduced risk of glaucoma by 25%.
According to researchers, although there has been a large number of studies that examine the effects of physical activity on pressure in the eye and blood pressure, this study is the first time revealing the relationship between physical activity and risk of glaucoma.
Previously, a modifiable risk factor for glaucoma and eye pressure is associated with drug treatment
