I do always see an ophthalmologist (rather than just an optometrist) at least once a year and will have him check for tears when I see him again in March. My eyes are very important to me -- I'm a photographer (who usually uses a rangefinder -- manual lenses). For the moment, I will continue to do Down Dog (although you've scared me) but stay away from total inversions... And I will definitely discuss this with my doctor! (I shudder to think of all the years I was upside down during my rock climbing days...) |

Unfortunately, surgery wasn't possible for me.
But as regards, downdogs, as I said, I still do them but only hold them momentarily -- I pass through them slowly. The important thing is that you don't want to increase pressure in your head. And I think doing something like a Pilates Jacknife, where one is moving fairly rapidly through an inverted position, can by its very force increase pressure in the head even though it's not held.
