Might exercising improve or help your eye vision?

Yes: Exercise is important to help control weight, sugar spikes, and thus risk of diabetes which is the leading cause of blindness in many populations. A general healthy lifestyle also helps decrease risk of macular degeneration & possibly cataract progression.

Yes: Patients with diabetes and hypertension can minimize the risk of potentially blinding eye disease through exercise. Exercise lowers your blood pressure and blood sugar which minimizes your risk of complications from these diseases.
