Nyctalopia (/ ˌ n ɪ k t ə ˈ l oʊ p i ə /; from Ancient Greek νύκτ-(núkt-) 'night' ἀλαός (alaós) 'blind, invisible' and ὄψ (óps) 'eye'), [1] also called night-blindness, is a condition making it difficult or impossible to see in relatively low light. It is a symptom of several eye diseases.
In both cases, symptoms may be remedied immediately by easing pressure on the flight controls. Continued or heavy g-force will rapidly progress to g-LOC (g-force induced Loss of Consciousness). Untrained individuals can withstand approximately 4g, while fighter pilots with g-suits are trained to perform 9g maneuvers.
Angle-closure glaucoma should be considered if there is painful loss of vision with a red eye, nausea or vomiting. [4] The eye pressure will be very high typically greater than 40 mmHg. [5] Emergent laser treatment to the iris may prevent blindness. [4]
For eye pressures, a value of 28 hPa (21 mmHg) above atmospheric pressure 1,010 hPa (760 mmHg) is often used, with higher pressures leading to a greater risk. [2] [26] However, some may have high eye pressure for years and never develop damage. [2] Conversely, optic nerve damage may occur with normal pressure, known as normal-tension glaucoma. [27]
Intraocular pressure varies throughout the night and day. The diurnal variation for normal eyes is between 3 and 6 mmHg and the variation may increase in glaucomatous eyes. During the night, intraocular pressure may not decrease [ 17 ] despite the slower production of aqueous humour. [ 18 ]
In a sixth nerve palsy one would expect that, over the 6 month observation period, most patients would show the following pattern of changes to their ocular muscle actions: firstly, an overaction of the medial rectus of the affected eye, then an overaction of the medial rectus of the contraletral eye and, finally, an underaction of the lateral ...

[1] [2] This can create negative pressure in the sinus, as secretions are reabsorbed. [ 1 ] Risk factors for silent sinus syndrome include any anatomic condition causing obstruction of the maxillary ostium , such as ipsilateral nasal septum deviation ,ipsilateral laterally deviated middle turbinate , and narrowed infundibulum .
