- * SANS is characterized by symptoms such as swelling of the optic disc, changes in eye shape, and retinal abnormalities, but its exact cause is still not fully understood and may involve fluid shifts in microgravity and other factors.
- * Advanced imaging techniques, including MRI and optical coherence tomography, are crucial for diagnosing and monitoring SANS, and new methods like near-infrared spectroscopy and diffusion tensor imaging could enhance future research and analysis.
Ocular health is currently a major concern for astronauts on current and future long-duration spaceflight missions. Spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome (SANS) is a collection of ophthalmic and neurologic findings that is one potential physiologic barrier to interplanetary spaceflight. Since its initial report in 2011, our understanding of SANS has advanced considerably, with a primary focus on posterior ocular imaging including fundus photography and optical coherence tomography.
