Weight Training and Retinal Detachment—

 

Some forms of exercise increase the risk of retinal detachment, a condition where the light-sensitive tissue in the back of the eye tears. A detached retina is an emergency since delayed treatment can lead to vision loss. However, laser surgery, if you get it quickly enough, prevents further damage and vision loss. People who are near-sighted are at the highest risk of retinal detachment because of the shape of their eyes. Retinal detachment is most common after the age of 40.

Some studies show that people who do a lot of occupational lifting are at greater risk of developing a detached retina, especially those who are near-sighted. It’s not clear whether weight training increases the risk more. However, both occupational lifting and weight training increase pressure inside the abdomen during the lift, and that places more strain on the retina. Ophthalmologists also point out that people at high risk for detached retina because of nearsightedness should avoid exercise that involves trauma to the head such as boxing.
