    Author: Gibson A, McKenna M.
    Journal: J R Army Med Corps; 2011 Mar; 157(1):49-52. PubMed ID: 21465911.
    Abstract:
    Increased ultraviolet light exposure and hypoxia at altitude along with the body's physiological adaptation to altitude can lead to problems with the visual system. The problems that occur can be at the time of the exposure or delayed. The article provides an overview of the ways which the different components of the visual system can be affected following such exposure.
