A member asked:

Can i dive if i have pigment dispersion syndrome? no active pigmentation for 2 years now. iop controlled with eye drop and specialist care.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not a problem: There is no relationship between the steady pressure on your eye from diving, and pigment dispersion. I assume that your pressure, if elevated is currently under control. Pigment dispersion will only increase when the eye is subjected to repeated vibration such as occurs when running intensely. Go ahead and dive away.
