Strength training and eye pressure in healthy young adults
This study looks at how different strength training exercises and breathing techniques affect eye pressure and blood flow to the retina. It aims to find safe exercise approaches for young, healthy adults to potentially protect eye health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 40 years old.
- You should not have any eye disease (wearing glasses or contacts is okay).

- You cannot be taking any medications, including steroids.
- You must be a non-smoker and not be pregnant.
- Your eye pressure must be within a normal range (below 21 mmHg).

This study measures how eye pressure and standard eye-function tests perform in people with normal eyes, higher eye pressure, or early signs of glaucoma. It may help researchers understand who is at risk and how best to monitor eye health before or during glaucoma.
This study tests whether a simple home-based circuit training program can help lower eye pressure and protect the optic nerve in people with glaucoma. It may be a safe way to add exercise to your routine without needing special equipment.
This study looks at how different types of exercise and the time of day you exercise might affect your blood pressure and eye pressure. If you have glaucoma and slightly high blood pressure, this trial could help find the best exercise plan to manage both conditions.
This study tracks changes in blood flow, structure, and vision over time in people with glaucoma or high eye pressure. It aims to understand how these conditions progress, which could help improve future treatment.
This study uses a special camera (Brillouin microscopy) to measure how stiff your cornea is. It compares people with different types of glaucoma to those without glaucoma, helping researchers understand the link between corneal stiffness and eye pressure.
This trial tests whether strength training can help improve eye health in young children. It may slow down or prevent nearsightedness as they grow.
