Intraocular pressure (IOP)↓

The only modifiable glaucoma risk factor, and every licensed glaucoma treatment works by lowering it.
In depth
Intraocular pressure — the fluid pressure the optic nerve must withstand.
What drives it
Training load reduces it.
Aerobic exercise and mindfulness practices may lower IOP and provide neuroprotection. Lifestyle modifications like smoking cessation and balanced diets were also emphasized. PMC11451402

It increases Supports the optic nerve.
