Here on Earth, the most similar condition is idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). Patients with this condition also have increased pressure in their heads, and they experience visual changes such as those of the astronauts. Another condition, papilledema, involves optic nerve swelling.

I think that I am going to cancel my application to go to Mars on one of the first trips.

I can do without any visual problems, those Astronauts are getting and the optical community can not even find a cure for it.
