Research has been conducted in recent years into how space flight can impact astronautsâ eyesight. It’s the focus of a new initiative launched by the National Space Biomedical Research Institute and the Center for Space Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine.
The “Vision for Mars Challenge” is meant to help identify and advance medical technologies for ocular health in space.
We discuss the initiative and how this research could also potentially help the vision-impaired here on Earth.
