[Sportsandrec] Yoga and Glaucoma?

[Gaston Bedard]

Well, this is becoming interesting.
My eye specialist is an ophthalmologist with 35 years experience.
He filled out my medical forms confirming my blindness which is required for
the Boston Marathon.
He filled them out twice over the past 3 years.
Funny though, he never mentioned the eye pressure we are now discussing.
Yet, running a full marathon, 26.2 miles is stressful.

Yes, I've been told to avoid doing anything increasing pressure to the head,
which includes exercise where your head is inverted.

Has anyone in this group ever been advised by the eye doctor to avoid
certain yoga poses due to Glaucoma?  I'm hoping to get some reliable
information from my eye doctor soon, but I am wondering what, if anything,
people have been told by their eye doctors?  Thanks.
