Are there any Side Effects to Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Normally, the only significant side effect is that it is necessary to equalize the pressure in the ears. A few patients have noticed an improvement in vision; others have had a slight worsening of their vision over a very long course of treatment. This is only a temporary condition, so save your glasses, because if your vision changes, it will normally return to its pretreatment condition. If you have a change, you should wait 3 or 4 months after you have finished treatments before having your eyes reexamined.
