Dr. Grossman explains that even moderate activities like walking or swimming can help prevent retinal vein occlusions and other vision issues. He highlights various forms of exercise, such as rebounding, tai chi, and yoga, which enhance circulation and flexibility. Eye exercises are also recommended to maintain the flexibility of eye muscles.
