Can Heavy Lifting Damage Your Eyes? – Feliciana Menna
🏋️♀️ Extended version of this interview: https://www.patreon.com/posts/eye-health-and-152561923 🏋️♀️
There are very few health risks related to Olympic weightlifting when the training is reasonable. Are eye problems one of the issues that may develop? Feliciana Menna comes on the Evidence Strong Show to discuss her newest study on eye health in Olympic weightlifters.
Feliciana Menna is an ophthalmologist and clinician-scientist with expertise in retinal diseases, glaucoma, and multimodal ocular imaging. She has trained and worked across Italy and Switzerland and is currently involved in both clinical practice and research. She has recently focused on the investigation of intraocular pressure variations, particularly in relation to physical activity and different sports disciplines, with relevant implications for glaucoma risk assessment.
Enjoy!
