The reactions of the intraocular pressure (i.o.p) in snorkling and scuba diving were studies on 29 healthy subjects. A patient with chronic glaucoma simplex was examined in a pressure tank. The results confirm the author's opinion, that a well compensated chronic glaucoma simplex with intact discs and fields does not exclude fitness to dive. However, a diver with narrow angel glaucoma risks sudden rise in i.o.p. and acute glaucoma while ascending to the surface. Persons, who are examined for fitness to dive, should be seen by an ophthalmologist, if they have a glaucoma or if they are hypermetropic and over 40 years of age.
对29名健康受试者进行了浮潜和水肺潜水时眼压反应的研究。在压力舱中对一名慢性单纯性青光眼患者进行了检查。结果证实了作者的观点，即病情得到良好代偿、视盘和视野完好的慢性单纯性青光眼并不排除潜水适宜性。然而，窄角型青光眼患者在上升到水面时眼压有突然升高和急性青光眼发作的风险。接受潜水适宜性检查的人，如果患有青光眼或远视且年龄超过40岁，应由眼科医生进行检查。
