Re: blury vision below 80 FSW

I'm not a doctor. So, this is only from my limited education.

Your ears sound like they have fluid in them. That is why you are getting that fullness and muffling sound for a few days after diving. The question is: How did that fluid get in there?

If you allow a squeeze to develop, your middle ear can actually pull blood and other fluid from the surrounding tissue. The fact that you have been more diligent about equalizing, resulting in this lessening, makes this sound like you have gotten at the root of the cause. Make sure to equalize early and often. Also, remember that on CCR, due to the middle ear oxygen absoption, you will want to continue equalizing after a dive for several hours.

They eye thing is a mystery to me. However, the fact that it is getting better by being on top of equalizing your mask space sounds like a clue to the solution. Why not try a dive on another mask to see what happens?

Have you been to a doctor/opthamologist that knows about these issues? Might be a good idea to get checked out.
