The Effects of Space Radiation and Microgravity on Ocular Structures

Long-term exposure to microgravity and space radiation leads to physiological and pathological changes in human biology. Pathological neuro-ocular changes are collected under the name spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome. This review examines studies on the effects of microgravity and space...

description Long-term exposure to microgravity and space radiation leads to physiological and pathological changes in human biology. Pathological neuro-ocular changes are collected under the name spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome. This review examines studies on the effects of microgravity and space radiation on the ocular structures and their results. In addition, we discuss treatment methods and hypotheses to reduce the effects of microgravity and space radiation on biological structures.
