What is the topic of this review? This review describes the effect of extreme environments on the visual system. What advances does it highlight? The review highlights the way in which environmental stressors affect the eye and vision, both directly and indirectly.
Much is known about the physiology and anatomy of the eye. Much less is known about the impact of different environments on the eye, and yet it is the pathophysiology that results from this interaction that is often the precursor to disaster. The present review focuses on the effect of different extreme environments on the visual system; in particular, the way in which such environments affect the sensory mechanism of that system.
本综述的主题是什么?本综述描述了极端环境对视觉系统的影响。它突出了哪些进展?该综述强调了环境应激源直接和间接影响眼睛及视力的方式。
人们对眼睛的生理学和解剖学了解甚多。但对于不同环境对眼睛的影响却知之甚少,然而正是这种相互作用所导致的病理生理学往往是灾难的先兆。本综述着重探讨不同极端环境对视觉系统的影响;特别是此类环境影响该系统感觉机制的方式。
