There's no reason why your nearsightedness should interfere in your weight training, unless your lifting weights with your eyeballs. Just make sure if you wear glasses that they're secured by an elastic or headband so they won't slide off your nose if you get all sweaty.

I recently started trying eye exercises to help improve my vision. I created a blog so that people can follow my progress\n\nhttp://improvingmyeyesight.com/blog/\n\nThe program I am using is called the Vision for Life Program. Actually, the founder of the program, Orlin Sorensen, was also interested in flying, which is what got him interested in eye exercises.

yup you can definitely worsen your sight if your wearing incorrectly prescribed glasses. Your glasses are probably too strong for your eyes so wearing them puts a strain on your eyes. They are trying to focus with the lens but the glasses aren't your correct vision. If you keep wearing them, your eyes will get used to doing that and will ultimately get worse.

Not something I'd recommend if you're training at full speed.  The extra weight in unnatural locations may cause damage to the joiints (especially elbows and knees) as the punches and kicks reah full extension and the weight pulls on the limb.  Training at slower more controlled speeds shouldn't be a problem, but pay attention to how you feel during and after your workout.

There isn't anything that will keep you from becoming nearsighted.  It is all about the way the light reaches the retina.  Contacts work well, because the bend the cornea directly.  I have been nearsighted all my life.  It has progressively gotten worse with age.  I have worn contacts and glasses, but prefer glasses as contacts do not fit my lifestyle.  \nI am not so sure about Lasik surgery.  I have heard bad things about your eyes going back to the way they were or worse.  Not something I would look into doing.  But there isn't any food or exercises that will change the shape of your cornea, thus change the way you see.  Sorry!

Protein build up on the lens will eventually cause an infection and necrosis of the eye tissue.\n\nYou could get the night and day contacts...Or sleep in them anyway. Alot of people do it then just wash them in the morning. It's probably not a good thing, though.

yes!  my sister had lasik and has had all kinds of eye problems since then, going back for several follow up visits and now they say, oops, you might go blind in that eye but that's a risk if you look at the small print.  there was also a radio announcer in our area that had lasik and ended up having continual problems.  on the other hand, 3 other siblings had lasik without a problem.  there are alternatives if you have a stigmatism, but it's more complicated and the buy one get one free docs don't do it

There have been several studies conducted on teen weight lifting that suggest that certain types of weight lifting may damage the epiphysis, or growth plate, of your bones. There is evidence that lifting heavy weight could speed up growth plate closure, which would stunt your growth.\n\nThat does not mean that you should not pump iron, you just want to avoid power lifting, competitive lifting and maximum lifts. You should use relatively lightweights and do 2-3 sets of no more than 15 repetitions. You should also try to limit your workouts to 3, half-hour sessions per week.\n\nIt is important to learn the basics of weight training from a qualified instructor and get medical clearance from your doctor before you begin. Learning the proper technique will help you avoid future injuries associated with weight training. Your instructor can also give you pointers for getting the most out of your workout. Check with your school, many physical education teachers are qualified in this area.\n\nHow long you should walk, how fast and what incline all needs to be determined by you. Keeping track of your heart rate (beats per minute) during exercise is the best way to meet your fitness goals without over doing it. Heart rate training is the pre-determined heart rate an individual should reach and maintain during exercise in order to improve the efficiency of the heart and lungs. The maximum heart rate for any one individual is dependant on many factors such as age, current level of fitness and goals to be achieved through exercise. The general rule for finding your maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age. Your target heart rate would be 75% - 80% of this number.  \n\nTeenHealthFX recommends that you check with your doctor to determine what would be a safe heart rate since all individuals are different. Your doctor will also be able to advise you what to do if you have any medical conditions such as asthma.\n\nOnce you have determined a safe maximum heart rate you can begin training. If you are a beginner with the goal of improving overall fitness, losing weight or reducing stress, a healthy heart rate zone would be 50-60 percent of your maximum heart rate. You should gradually build up to a work out of 20 to 60 minutes. As your aerobic fitness increases the intensity of exercise will have to increase to keep the heart rate in the target range. Once you are in shape you can increase your performance to 70-80 percent of your maximum heart rate.\n\nIf this sounds complicated, do not worry it will come easy after some practice. In fact many aerobic machines such as treadmills, stationary bicycles and stair climbers have heart rate monitors built in. You can even buy a portable heart rate monitors that are no bigger that a wrist band, for outdoor training.\n\nRemember if you are going to exercise regularly always do a warm up followed by some stretching. After your workout take 5-10 minutes to cool down and do some more gentle stretching. Studies have shown that people who warm up and cool down adequately have far fewer injuries.

first off these other people dont know what they are talking about. 23 years old is just fine to be sf. 135lbs is just fine they will only not select you if you are over weight or over your body fat percentage. the near sighted might be a problem but now they will give you laser eye surgery so that wouldnt really be a problem. next you would most likely need to get a security clearance to go sf. so if you messed up you will be cault up on it. i have been in the army for over 4 years so i think i know a little more then the rest of these people.

It works if you do the exercises regularly. My eyes got slightly better last exam I just forget to do the exercises. There is a great nutrition suppament called nutraview from Melaluca that will help also .

Blimey you don't ask for much do you!!\n\nYou can't increase eye power as such without glasses, however there are certain excercises you can do for your eyes which is very good for focusing!\n\nHold an object about 12 inches away and focus on it hard. Now without moving the object, get your eyes to focus on what is behind the object. This is actually very good exercise for the eyes.\n\nAs with most things, eyes will deteriorate with age. Spectacles will obviously aid your vision but this really is the only way to increase your vision, well apart from laser surgey of course!

You might try doing exercises for the muscles\nof the eyes... one thing I found helps a lot\nis using your eyes to focus in different ways,\nlike looking through binoculars or a telescope;\nthis forces your eye muscles to work in different\nways and become stronger.

For the best advice, consult with your regular doctor or your opthamologist / optometrist. \n\nI am not sure of the validity of the other response you have been given. Actually, strenuous exercise can make an eye condition worsen due to increased pressure / blood pressure. If you have a serious eye condition (such as retinal detachment) consult with your doctor before exercising to avoid further complications. \n\nGood luck and best wishes....

You are fine as long as your vision is correctable to 20/20 with glasses or contacts. I have -6.50 in both eyes and I passed my flight physical.\nYour weight is fine I have a friend who is 6 foot 7 and weighs about 60 kilos, and he is a commercial pilot instructor.

I don't think so.  I have terrible eyesight.  I can't even see the big\n"E" on the eye chart!  I am very nearsighted.  I am in my mid 30's and have had the same prescription for several years now.\nI think it's because I do as much reading as possible without my glasses and I don't wear contacts anymore.  My sister, on the other hand, gets a new prescription every year and it's always worse.  I have heard of some kind of eye exercises advertised on the radio that supposedly restore at least some sight.  I'm sorry I can't be more specific.
