Abstract:
High-altitude environment has its unique characteristics,which can cause a variety of acute and chronic mountain sicknesses.With increasing human activities at high altitude,the impact of high altitude exposure on human body has become a hotspot.Hypobaric hypoxia,strong breeze,strong radiation and excess ultraviolet exposure can induce pathophysiological changes in human body and eyes.Individual difference exists in response to high-altitude environment.In order to provide ideas for further study on the mechanisms of ocular changes at high altitude,this article reviewed the characteristics of high-altitude environment and their impact on the eyes,including visual function (vision,color vision,visual field and visual electrophysiology),intraocular pressure,ocular structures (tear film,conjunctiva,cornea,pupil,lens and fundus) and ocular treatments.
