Are there contra-indications for diving with either eye condition?
Ezra. After any form of surgery we have to ensure that tissues have healed fully before resuming diving. When the eye has been operated on, we must ensure that healing has produced strong joins, because we are concerned about the risks of trauma to the eye if mask squeeze occurs. We are also keen to ensure that the diver has appropriate lens corrections so that he/she can see adequately. However, if healing is good and vision is adequate, a past cataract extraction and the presence of glaucoma is permissible.
