This is also a good spot for seeing the action of red blood cells on
nitrogen, but as you see, they are still more worried about the symptoms
than the problems. On another note, venous bubbles do not mean you are bent
by any means, so this is bullshit, but then consider the source.

Contrairement a ce que le titre pourrait laissi sous entendre, c'est une
bonne nouvelle d'outre manche que je vous transmet et bien moins cher qu'un
test doppler:


UPDATED : 8 March 2002

               NEW TEST FOR DECOMPRESSION ILLNESS
               Doctors at the University of New South Wales
               Department of Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine claim to
               have discovered a simple method of identifying
               decompression illness.
               Research carried out on scuba divers revealed that
               after every dive between one and three bubbles are
               visible in the fluid that lubricates the eyeball. These
are visible in the tear film in the lower eyelid. In case of
               divers with decompression illness, between 20 and 30
               bubbles can be observed.
               "We hope that a remote doctor, suspicious that a
               patient may have the bends, will be able to do a
simple,inexpensive examination of the patient's tear film.
               Based on the number of air bubbles, they will then be
               able to make a decision on whether the patient needs to
               be flown out for further treatment," said Dr Bennett, the
report's author.
