Changes in the Optic Nerve Head and Choroid Over 1 Year of Spaceflight.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

While 6-month data are available regarding spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome, manned missions for 1 year and beyond are planned, warranting evaluation for spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome beyond 6 months.

Objective

To determine if the manifestation of spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome worsens during International Space Station missions exceeding the present 4- to 6-month duration.

Design, setting, and participants

The One-Year Mission Study used quantitative imaging modalities to investigate changes in ocular structure in 2 crew members who completed a 1-year-long spaceflight mission. This study investigated the ocular structure of crew members before, during, and after their mission on the International Space Station. Two
