Description |
Seventy percent of tested ISS astronauts demonstrate changes in ocular structure and function; 32% with disc edema, and five with elevated CSF pressure. Increased vascular compliance may predispose astronauts to VIIP. The purpose of this study was to determine if astronauts with higher preflight cardiovascular risk profiles demonstrated worse post flight eye outcomes. |
