Air diving is frequently practiced by professionals or sportsmen. Controversial data exist in the literature on the existence of retinal abnormalities in divers.
18 divers (aged: 27-58y) who dived around 2000 times in their life were studied: half of them dived only with air while the others used an O2-enriched gas mixture (40 to 60%). None of them had presented a bend (decompression sickness). Visual acuity and ocular fundus examination have been explored. A quantification of color vision and central visual field, so as a fluorescein angiography have been performed.
No alteration of visual acuity was noted; abnormalities in the color vision and the visual field are reported; however the angiographic lesions described in the literature have not been observed.
The alterations of color vision were quite severe but not very frequent. No correlation was found with any characteristics or type of diving.
These observations are comforting for sportive divers who do not dive very often nor very deep but an individual predisposition is suspected.
专业人员或运动员经常进行空气潜水。文献中关于潜水员视网膜异常的存在存在有争议的数据。
对18名潜水员（年龄：27 - 58岁）进行了研究，他们一生中潜水约2000次：其中一半仅使用空气潜水，另一半使用富氧气体混合物（40%至60%）。他们均未出现减压病。对视力和眼底进行了检查。进行了色觉和中心视野的量化，以及荧光素血管造影。
未发现视力改变；报告了色觉和视野异常；然而，未观察到文献中描述的血管造影病变。
色觉改变相当严重，但不太常见。未发现与任何潜水特征或类型存在相关性。
对于不经常且不深度潜水的运动潜水员来说，这些观察结果令人安心，但怀疑存在个体易感性。
