title: [Problems of intraocular pressure in scuba diving (author's transl)].
abstract: The reactions of intraocular pressure (i. o. p.), pulse rate, and blood pressure were studied on 30 scuba divers in a pressure tank. Under excess pressures of 2 and 4 atm the i.o.p. showed an average fall of 2-3 mm Hg. The pulse rate fell in average by 4-5/min, while the blood pressure only showed minor changes. In the authors' opinion a well compensated chronic simple glaucoma with intact discs and fields does not exclude fitness for scuba diving.
