Objective: This review synthesises current evidence on in- and post-flight ocular complications. It integrates clinical findings, terrestrial analogues, animal studies, and theoretical models to characterise the pathophysiology, risk factors, and countermeasures associated with spaceflight-induced ocular changes. Methods: A review of peer-reviewed literature was conducted, focusing on dry eye disease, corneal edema, ocular biometric shifts, spaceflight associated neuro-ocular syndrome (SANS), and radiation-induced cataractogenesis. Data from in-flight imaging, post-flight assessments, and ground-based analogues were analysed. Results: Spaceflight induces multifactorial ocular changes, including tear film instability, optic disc edema, posterior globe flattening, and hyperopic refractive shifts. These effects are thought to result from cephalad fluid shifts compartmentalised cerebrospinal fluid pressure, venous congestion, and impaired glymphatic system. Long-term risks, such as cataractogenesis, are linked to radiation exposure and genetic susceptibility. Although several countermeasures are being explored, no single approach fully prevents these complications. Conclusions: Ocular complications during LDSF remain a significant challenge for astronaut health and mission performance. A multimodal approach combining mechanical, nutritional, and diagnostic strategies will be essential for future exploration-class missions. Further research is needed to refine countermeasures and preserve astronauts\u2019 visual function.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm15124537","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,12]],"date-time":"2026-06-12T01:52:08Z","timestamp":1781229128000},"page":"4537","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Ophthalmic and Visual System Changes in Human Spaceflight: A Review of Mechanisms, Measurement, and Countermeasures"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Natalia","family":"Lange","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Chair and Clinical Department of Ophthalmology, School of Medicine in Zabrze, District Railway Hospital, Panewnicka 65, 40-760 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7067-3636","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Filip","family":"Wyl\u0119ga\u0142a","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Space Technologies, AGH University of Krakow, Mickiewicza 30, 30-059 Krakow, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3205-6864","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bart\u0142omiej","family":"Bolek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chair and Clinical Department of Ophthalmology, School of Medicine in Zabrze, District Railway Hospital, Panewnicka 65, 40-760 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4057-1898","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bogumi\u0142a","family":"S\u0119dziak-Marcinek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chair and Clinical Department of Ophthalmology, School of Medicine in Zabrze, District Railway Hospital, Panewnicka 65, 40-760 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jaros\u0142aw","family":"Pi\u0142at","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chair and Clinical Department of Ophthalmology, School of Medicine in Zabrze, District Railway Hospital, Panewnicka 65, 40-760 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6707-5790","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Edward","family":"Wyl\u0119ga\u0142a","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chair and Clinical Department of Ophthalmology, School of Medicine in Zabrze, District Railway Hospital, Panewnicka 65, 40-760 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7295-4936","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adam","family":"Wyl\u0119ga\u0142a","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chair and Clinical Department of Ophthalmology, School of Medicine in Zabrze, District Railway Hospital, Panewnicka 65, 40-760 Katowice, Poland"},{"name":"Experimental Ophthalmology Unit, Department of Biophysics, Medical University of Silesia, Panewnicka 65, 40-760 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Ax, T., Ganse, B., Fries, F.N., Szentm\u00e1ry, N., de Paiva, C.S., March de Ribot, F., Jensen, S.O., Seitz, B., and Millar, T.J.
