Agnirva Space Premier League - Expedition #32007: Digital Tablet Eye Vision Test for Space Missions

The Digital Tablet Eye Vision Test for Space Missions is a critical experiment focused on understanding how long-duration space missions impact astronauts' eye health and vision. Led by Professor Uri Polat of Bar-Ilan University, with the involvement of EYEKON E.R.D Limited, this experiment was conducted during Expedition 67 aboard the ISS. The experiment aimed to assess astronauts' vision using digital tablet technology, helping to identify any potential vision problems that could arise during extended missions. In microgravity environments, astronauts often experience vision changes, including issues like blurred vision or increased intraocular pressure, which can affect their ability to perform critical tasks. The goal of the Digital Tablet Eye Vision Test is to provide a convenient, non-invasive method for monitoring astronauts' eye health during missions. By using digital tablets to perform eye tests, the experiment simplifies the process of diagnosing and tracking vision issues, which could otherwise require more complex or invasive methods. This research is crucial for ensuring the health and safety of astronauts during long-duration space missions, such as those planned for Mars exploration. The findings from this experiment could lead to the development of better diagnostic tools and treatment options for astronauts, ultimately improving their ability to function effectively in space and during future missions.
