In February 1968, NASA purchased 400 antigravity ballpoint pens from the Fisher Pen Company for Apollo Program to prevent potential harm astronauts and equipment. Mechanical pencils previously used in microgravity posed risks like eye injuries floating fragments penetrating cornea. The cornea is vulnerable abrasions, perforations, chemical burns such environments, affecting crewmembers aboard International Space Station (ISS). While they undergo extensive training emergency situations, there...
In light of the potential effects spaceflight on anterior segment eye, there is a pressing need for imaging to be available and accessible monitor astronauts’ ocular health, including alterations cornea lens. We aim highlight clinical basis astronauts. explore impacts spaceflight-associated hazards, microgravity radiation, risk developing pathology trauma, infection, dry eye symptoms, cataracts, possibly additional pathologies from increased radiation exposure. Such risks value that...
Some astronauts on International Space Station missions experience neuroophthalmological pathologies as part of spaceflight associated neuro-ocular syndrome (SANS). Strict head-down tilt bed rest (HDTBR) is a analog that replicates SANS findings and those who had 3–4 risk alleles (G C from the methionine synthase reductase [MTRR] A66G serine hydroxymethyltransferase [SHMT1] C1420T, respectively) compared to 1-2 alleles, greater increase in total retinal thickness (TRT). The objective this...
