Effect of a Submarine Patrol on Visual Processes

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0721683 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Two separate studies were undertaken to see if any measurable deterioration in basic visual processes occurred during one submarine patrol. There was no significant decline in acuity, stereoacuity, or refractive power, but there was a significant increase in near esophoria. This was consistent with long term effects reported previously. The results are discussed and suggestions made for future research.
