EXERCISING in the evening could help with glaucoma. A study of the fitness habits of almost 100 people with the condition showed being active between 6pm and 8pm – but not earlier in the day – cut the odds of glaucoma worsening by 15 per cent. Exercise is known to reduce the abnormally high pressure in the eye responsible for the vision loss of glaucoma, and a quirk of the body clock may mean the effect is greatest later in the day, say the researchers in the journal Eye and Vision.
