| Core Tip |
Vision is mission-critical in human spaceflight. Prolonged exposure to microgravity causes a distinct set of ocular changes known as spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome. These include optic disc edema, posterior globe flattening, choroidal folds, retinal nerve fiber layer thickening, and hyperopic refractive shifts. Evidence suggests spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome arises from cephalad fluid shifts, venous congestion, and altered cerebrospinal fluid dynamics rather than raised intracranial pressure alone. Advances in in-flight imaging and artificial intelligence are improving early detection, making ocular health central to safe space exploration and neuro-ophthalmic research. |
