Hi Ben_ca,

Here is a brief discussion of ocular DCI and barotrauma:

Thanks for the link. Very informative. However I still doubt if what happened to me was indeed Ocular dcs. 1. after pure oxygen treatment my vision improved greatly after a week. No other symptoms of DCS were present.

First time I went to see my eye trauma doctor, he said my macular was just swollen and it wasn't that bad. No need for any laser surgery to fix it, just eye drops for 2 months then my vision went back to 20/20.

Ben: yes ocular DCS is very rare.
