Description:
|
Recent missions on board the International Space Station have revealed previously unreported physiological consequences of long duration space flight, particularly in eyesight, and in this Brief Dr. Seedhouse reviews the existing theories on what causes this degeneration and how long it will last. With this book, readers have an entry point for understanding the full scope of vision degradation and its possible origins.
