Dr. Deco, or anyone who can help with this?
I'm not verse in medical information or terms, so please have patience: In reading an article from Rodale's quite a time ago, it mentioned there was a study underway looking for signs of possible DCS from development of increasingly large numbers of bubbles in the fluid of the eye sockets.
The abreviated article told that there are normally a number of measurable bubbles present within the fluid the surounds the eyeball within the eye socket. Research on a recently surfaced diver(s) who upon examination was found to have many more times the "normal" amount of bubble quantities, and a coorelation was being attempted for signs of DCS. It was hoped that in the future, someone suspected of possible DCS/DCS may have a simple eye exam performed, and possibly the chances of proper recognition and treatment could be more assured.
The article lead to no further research points for more information. Does anyone know if this is still ongoing, became a reality, had value, or could lead me on where to research more into the results of the findings? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
