Abstract

With the expansion of human exploration and activities, increasing people work and live in special natural environments with relatively unique characteristics, which can not only lead to pathophysiological changes and metabolic disorders, but also have a great impact on eyes and intraocular pressure (IOP). This article reviews the effects of the high-altitude hypoxia environment, space microgravity environment, deep water environment, dark environment, cold environment and ambient air pollution on IOP, and discusses the mechanisms of related IOP changes.

随着人类探索和活动范围不断扩大,越来越多人群在特殊自然环境中工作和生活。特殊自然环境有其相对独特的环境特点,不仅可导致人机体发生病理生理变化和新陈代谢紊乱,而且可对眼部造成影响,需要关注维持正常视功能。本文总结了高原缺氧、太空微重力、深水、黑暗、寒冷及空气污染等特殊自然环境对眼压的影响,并探讨眼压在这些特殊自然环境下改变的机制,以期为临床诊疗和研究工作提供参考。.
