One thing we often forget is how sensitive our eyes are to oxygen changes. Much like a plant wilting when deprived of water, the eyes can suffer greatly when they don't get enough oxygen. This can occur due to illness, injury and unfortunately age. Hyperbaric oxygenation can be a much needed addition to maintaining or restoring your eye health.
Hyperbaric oxygenation harnesses the healing power of oxygen. Increasing the pressure around you allows oxygen to dissolve more effectively into the bloodstream, reaching areas that are often difficult to access under normal conditions. For the eyes, which are highly sensitive to oxygen levels, this can be a significant health boost.
One key application of HBOT is for macular degeneration, a condition where the macula — the part of the retina responsible for central vision — deteriorates, often due to aging. This can result in blurred or distorted vision, much like looking through a foggy window. By increasing oxygen delivery to the retina, HBOT improves blood flow and supports the healing process, helping to restore some visual clarity. It is also used for patients who have undergone chemotherapy or radiation, as these treatments can damage the delicate tissues of the eyes. The therapy reduces inflammation and enhances oxygen supply, helping the eyes recover from the stress and damage caused by cancer treatments.
There really is a large number of applications for hyperbaric oxygenation and that stems from the fact that every cell in the body needs oxygen to survive. Compensating for times of low oxygen due to injury, disease or known physiological changes can help to avoid complications and maintaining healthier eyes.
