Exercise suggestions after cross-link
Posted: Wed 15 Jun 2022 6:29 pm
Hello, I recently had two cross-link interventions on both my eyes with one month apart betwen the procedures. Today I went back after a month passed for the post-intervention check-up and the doctor told me to come back in 6 months to see if any changes occured.
He also told me that I should not do any strength exercises during that time, only light jogging which is my main issue. I'm fairly active and work out almost daily, no equipment but I do try to push my limits (like push-ups for example) and the idea of not being able to do any training for 6 months is driving me a li'll bit crazy. >.>
I wanted to ask for any advice from anyone who's been in a similar situation and perhaps found certain exercises that still work without damaging your cornea. I know I can't do strength exercises but I'm not sure what else I can do besides a light jog and the doc wasn't very helpful with giving me examples of what I can and can't do besides what I mentioned.
I tried looking online for advice but no luck, if anyone knowledgeable could kindly offer advice from personal experience (or other sources) I would apreciate it, I've started working out 5 months ago and got into shape again after a long break due to the whole Corona incident. Having to stop again and let all that work go to waste is not a pleasent thought but I also don't wanna damage my eye sight. *sigh*
