Environmental Stress as Related to the Visual Mechanism1

The effects of some forms of environmental stress upon performance of a visual task are reviewed. In particular, attention has been directed toward those factors related to high-speed flight, high-altitude flight and exposure to extremes of radiation, both visible and non-visible. The major problems are presented and some general solutions are suggested.
