Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Vision loss is common during centrifuge runs due to G-forces and straining maneuvers. However, one subject experienced persistent unilateral vision loss after a low G exposure, with no medical cause found.

Area of Science:

  • Aerospace Medicine
  • Ophthalmology
  • Physiology

Background:

  • Vision loss, including central light loss (CLL) and peripheral light loss (PLL), is an expected outcome during centrifuge runs.
  • The anti-G straining maneuver (AGSM) and G-profile are key factors influencing visual perception under high G-forces.
