Short-term Structural and Microvascular Ocular Changes Induced by Hypergravity Exposure During Human Centrifuge Training
Short-term exposure to hypergravity induces transient yet measurable alterations in ocular parameters, particularly retinal thickness and vascular density. These novel findings suggest potential mechanisms underlying hypergravity-associated visual impairment and highlight the importance of monitoring ocular health in individuals exposed to high-G environments.
