Anderson and others were referenced several times in Bennet & Elliot's book.

The reason I'm jumping into the conversation, is that Anderson, et al. claim
Hyperoxic Myopia is rare in non-diabetic patients under 50, whereas I know a
diver who suffered it after (sucessful) treatment for type II DCS. He was an
otherwise healty adult male ~30 yo in excellent physical condition, but had
vision problems for about 2 weeks after completing 4 or 5 TT6s.

Does anyone know if the Anderson cite has been superceded? It seems that his
paper focused mainly on LOLs (Little Old Ladies) getting hyperbaric therapy
for non-dive injuries. These tend to be less agressive than treatments for
dive injuries, so I was wondering if it was commoner than reported, in
divers receiving treatment?
