Dunno, but I'm pretty sure your eyes are under no pressure to pop out of
your head on stalks (as shown on Total Recall) or your head pop like a messy
balloon (as in Outland). Unless of course your head is full of compressed
air.
It is true that blood contains dissolved gases, but a decrease of 1
atmosphere is only about the same as ascending 407 inches (10.3 metres) in
water. I don't think you get the bends unless you have been down a fair bit
deeper or longer.
