A member asked:
Does compressing tummy once in a while to flatten tummy (light isometric exercise) increase eye pressure? what about doing it the whole day? thx

Abs: Bearing down of any sort can increase intracranial pressure. Eye pressure increase may be a secondary issue.

Not really: Intense internal pressure can increase intracranial pressure and slightly affect eye pressure, but only temporarily. Under more pressure, your eye increases the outflow of fluid to bring the pressure back to normal.The type of exercise you are describing will have no effect. Don't worry. Enjoy your workout.
