Effect of a Submarine Patrol on Visual Processes
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

Dental diseases, including periodontal disease, at times become vexacious health problems on submarine patrols. Dental calculus is thought to play a role in periodontal disease. Little is known about the oral factor on patrol which may influence the calculus formation rate. Past studies indicate that the salivary pH may have a role in this formation. The saliva from the anterior sublingual pool...
