Article Synopsis
- Astronauts in deep space are at risk for eye problems due to microgravity, which negatively impacts ocular health.
- Researchers studied mice on the ISS, exposing them to microgravity and varying levels of artificial gravity to assess the effects on their optic nerves and retinas.
- Results showed that microgravity raises oxidative stress, inflammation, and other negative changes in eye tissue, but adding artificial gravity can reduce these harmful effects.
