Will eye exercises increase chance of retinal detachment if you have posterior vitreous detachment? |
I tried doing eye exercises to strengthen my eyes. I have previously had LASIK for severe nearsightedness & astigmatism. Anyway, I just found out I have a posterior vitreous detachment the other day from my eye doctor & after doing eye exercises, my eye w/ the PVD really started hurting. Could these exercises inadvertently cause a retinal detachment? Btw, I was doing eye exercises because my eyes were not corrected to 20/20. They are actually a little farsighted now & I was given a prescription, but would rather not wear glasses. First, I wouldn't expect eye exercises to improve your vision. Second, the risk of retinal detachment actually goes DOWN after a posterior vitreal detechment. That is because before the vitreous detaches, it is pulling anteriorly away from the retina and exerting traction forces as it pulls on the retina. Once the vitreous does detach it is no longer in contact with the retina and can no longer pull the retina off. Your discomfort was probably just associated with muscular fatigue due to the eye exercises you were performing. |
