Not sure how true this is, or even where I heard it……………..there was concern, when this was a relatively new procedure, that in the event of a decompression the vitreous humour could leak (or explode) out of the cornea. Something to do with peeling back, and therefore structurally weakening the cornea. I’m assuming this has been either resolved or disproved as I know plenty of crew who swear by this operation.
