Hi Bill

I had 30 dives earlier this year and also encountered the same problems with blurred vision and was also advised that the problem would PROBABLY be temporary. Five months on my vision had not improved and I had to get my lenses upgraded.

I did contact the Dr at the HBO facility and he said that usually they do return to norm, but they should have done so by about 12 weeks after the final HBO treatment.

He also mentioned that HBO treatments have been known to cause cataracts in some patients.
