I had CXL surgery for keratoconus 5 years ago and want to start going to the gym. Can I do strength training exercises like pushups, situps, lunges, planks, squats, and jumping jacks without worrying about increased intraocular pressure or my keratoconus getting worse?
Yes, you can generally do strength training exercises like push-ups, sit-ups, lunges, planks, squats, and jumping jacks after CXL surgery for keratoconus without worrying about significant increases in intraocular pressure (IOP) or your keratoconus progressing further. CXL surgery strengthens the cornea, helping to slow down the progression of keratoconus. While exercise can temporarily increase IOP, it's usually not a major concern for individuals who have had CXL surgery

My cornea thickness is 410 microns and I'm considering C3R eye surgery. Is this thickness enough for the procedure or do I need to meet specific minimum requirements? I'm a bit worried about whether my eyes are suitable for it.
A cornea thickness of 410 microns may not be suitable for C3R surgery. While C3R can be performed with thinner corneas, it's crucial to maintain a minimum corneal thickness after the procedure to avoid complications like ectasia. Generally, a minimum stromal thickness of 330 microns is recommended.
