Hi,
I am very nearsighted, about -4.5 in each eye and my eye doctor says I have an increased chance of retinal detachment. I heard that weight training especially with heavy stuff can cause retinal detachment because of the pressure buildup inside. I really want to get started lifting some heavy weights but I'm scared my eyes might go bust. Does anyone here know of people with bad myopia but can still lift heavy without problems??
