They should be doing a consult prior to your starting HBO, so ask them how HBO will impact your wide angle glaucoma at your consult. Every single day a HBO tech (usually an RN) will check your vital signs prior to and after the dive. If you develop any vision issue you can tell the tech right away who can relay the info to the doctor. After everything you have already been thru I would hate to see you have any more issues.
Good luck!!!
