Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

High altitude retinal hemorrhage occurs frequently at altitudes above 14,000 feet and is caused by a lack of oxygen to the retina. Optic neuritis is inflammation of the optic nerve, snow blindness is temporary vision loss due to overexposure to ultraviolet light in snow or ice, and strabismus is a misalignment of the eyes. None of these conditions are directly related to high altitude and lack of oxygen.
