Are there any forms of exercise increase the risk for a retinal detachment?

Indirect: The risk of a detachment relates mostly to the internal structure of the eye, previous illness and injury, surgery, and refractive errors. If any of these are present, then jiggling and bouncing of the head a eye can increase the risk for retinal detachment. For most there is no added risk and especially in younger persons who have solid gelatinous vitreous gel holding everything in place.

Boxing: Activities involving direct compressive trauma to the eye can increase the risk of retinal detachment, even with the vitreous gel intact. Examples include boxing, tennis, soccer, etc. Protective eyewear is recommended for these contact sports. Additionally, activities that result in sudden deceleration, such as bungee jumping can also result in a retinal detachment.
