Aims:
This bedrest/analog study will evaluate the VIIP related changes in ocular structure, biomechanics, and translaminar pressure gradients. Assessment of: Scleral thickness, posterior eye radius, degree of myopia, intraocular pressure (IOP), choroidal volume, flow and thickness, retinal pigmented epithelial angle (RPE), and translaminar pressure gradient.
Integration/Unique Aspects:
