I was intrigued by this statement:
"Over the past decade, scientists have begun to notice astronauts who spend long periods on the International Space Station begin to lose their eyesight. When those astronauts return to Earth, the structure of the backs of their eyes often shows signs of folding and other indications of elevated pressure in the brain, he said."
It was in this article:

It made me think of the recent discussions of how human eyes perceive light, and how changing conditions might have impacted on human eyes.

Re: ISS astronauts' eyesight fails?
There has been evidence of microwave exposure and eye problems from early radar research.
Aren't the astronauts exposed to higher levels of these types of energy from space?
