Start now to lose two stone by Christmas

Thu, Oct 03, 2024

Improved eye health with HBOT

Thu, Oct 03, 2024

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.
