Fluid Shifts Before, During and After Prolonged Space Flight and Their Association with Intracranial Pressure and Visual ImpairmentFuture human space travel will primarily consist of long duration missions onboard the International Space Station or exploration class missions to Mars, its moons, or nearby asteroids. Current evidence suggests that long duration missions might increase risk of permanent ocular structural and functional changes, possibly due to increased intracranial pressure resulting from a spaceflight-induced cephalad (headward) fluid shift.
