Long-duration spaceflight (LDSF) may cause eye and neurological changes, called Spaceflight Associated Neuro-Ocular Syndrome (SANS). A prior SANS diagnosis predicts future risk and severity in repeat ISS astronauts according to this new NASA study.
jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

A total of 16 National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) astronauts (orange circles) have completed 2 long-duration spaceflights onboard the ISS. During ISS mission 1, astronauts were either diagnosed as SANS cases or non-SANS cases (indicated by dark and light blue circles, respectively). These SANS or non-SANS groups then completed ISS mission 2 and were, again, diagnosed as SANS or non-SANS cases.
