Los \u00faltimos modelos desarrollados por la ESA son mucho m\u00e1s peque\u00f1os, veloces, econ\u00f3micos y f\u00e1ciles de usar que las versiones anteriores.<\/p>\n<p>La tecnolog\u00eda espacial tambi\u00e9n se utiliza para tratar a pacientes con glaucoma, una enfermedad que produce p\u00e9rdida de visi\u00f3n y finalmente la ceguera. Hay unos 70 millones de personas en el mundo occidental que padecen glaucoma.<\/p>\n<p>Se est\u00e1 utilizando un instrumento denominado ton\u00f3metro para combatir dicha enfermedad. Su nombre es Ocuton-S y permitir\u00e1 a los pacientes controlar ellos mismos la presi\u00f3n ocular y decidir cu\u00e1ndo necesitan medicarse.<\/p>\n<p>Los experimentos realizados con astronautas han conducido al desarrollo de un pupil\u00f3metro especial. Se utiliza en las cl\u00ednicas oftalmol\u00f3gicas para intervenciones quir\u00fargicas de alta precisi\u00f3n, como en el caso de ni\u00f1os con estrabismo. Tambi\u00e9n tiene aplicaciones posibles en la investigaci\u00f3n cerebral y en la psicolog\u00eda.<\/p>\n<p>El sistema germicida Sterilite se desarroll\u00f3 inicialmente para la investigaci\u00f3n biol\u00f3gica en el espacio.
