no kidding....scrunch my eyes up when lifting as it feels like there is pressure behind it and it might get pushed forward....just one eye...it has always been the weaker eye but now I can't read even large writing with it. I don't notice unless I close my good eye(can't see properly) or weight lift (feel pressure). I am 39. history...Mum has macular degeneration and cataracts.
Spent the last year or so studying for various CPA exams (I know I suck as a student) but even with heavy studying in the past, the poor eye always bounced back after a day or two. Been to a military doctor in Iraq and had an eye test in Scotland...both said get a pair of glasses with a prescription for one eye or don't worry about it if the other eye is picking up the slack. I emailed John Hopkins after searching answers and am waiting to hear back.
Anyone know what causes this?

My suggestion would be to breathe when you life weights. Exhale on the exertion movement. You are probably holding your breathe (a common habit in weight lifting). This raises the pressure in your head...thus causing the pressure behind your eye.

I am afraid I don't but I am glad to hear that your seeking advise from John Hopkins. I too have one bad eye and have had to have glasses to help and have been told that's all they can do. I would see a real eye doctor who does more than just prescribe glasses.
