Q: I have emphesema - my opthamologist feels that the oxygen therapy (2 liters 24/7) causing eye problems. Is this true?
We would need more information to weigh in on this issue. I wouldn't ordinarily think that oxygen via nasal cannula tubing, even used 24/7, would cause eye problems, but without more information, it's hard to answer your question.
