I’ve just found out that there are changes to the optic nerves in my eyes and I also have normal eye pressure. It has not yet been determined if I have glaucoma at this point. I will have further tests soon. I’ve been doing Bikram yoga three days a week for three years. I would very much like to hear from Marjo Meiijer to learn if her eyes stabilized after stopping Bikram. My gut reaction is that both the heat and downward bending postures in Bikram yoga have contributed to my problem. I am 67 and my age may also be a factor. Previously I have had no problems with my eyes other than needing glasses. My last eye exam was done just when I started Bikram and at that point there was no problem with my optic nerves. I wish I had not gone three years between exams. I would urge anyone doing Bikram to have regular eye checkups.
