ISS astronauts' eyesight fails?

What is a human being? What is life? Can science give us reliable answers to such questions? The electricity of life. The meaning of human consciousness. Are we alone? Are the traditional contests between science and religion still relevant? Does the word "spirit" still hold meaning today?

ISS astronauts' eyesight fails?

I was intrigued by this statement:

"Over the past decade, scientists have begun to notice astronauts who spend long periods on the International Space Station begin to lose their eyesight. When those astronauts return to Earth, the structure of the backs of their eyes often shows signs of folding and other indications of elevated pressure in the brain, he said."

It was in this article:

It made me think of the recent discussions of how human eyes perceive light, and how changing conditions might have impacted on human eyes.

There has been evidence of microwave exposure and eye problems from early radar research.
Aren't the astronauts exposed to higher levels of these types of energy from space?
