I recently had an eye exam and learned my eye pressure is pretty high. During the visit, the doctor asked if anyone in my family had glaucoma, and after I mentioned my optic nerve, she said there's a slight issue but not to worry. I'm curious, can I still do exercises like push-ups, pull-ups, and intense cardio? Is it okay to hit the gym, or could these activities affect my eye pressure?

I'm really concerned because I had ICL surgery about two months ago and now my IOP readings are 1416 with GAT and 2325 with NCT. I've been experiencing eye pain like something sharp is poking my eye, and I've also been getting headaches. Do you think I should consider getting the ICL removed?
