Hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) positively impacts eye health in postmenopausal women. Studies show HRT improves intraocular pressure, lacrimal secretion, and corneal thickness, benefiting ocular physiology.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Endocrinology
  • Gynecology

Context:

  • Menopause is associated with hormonal changes that can affect various physiological functions.
  • Ocular health can be influenced by systemic hormonal fluctuations.
  • Postmenopausal women are a key demographic for studying the effects of hormonal interventions.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the effects of hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) on key ocular parameters.
  • To assess changes in intraocular pressure (IOP), lacrimal secretion, and corneal thickness.
  • To determine the impact of HRT on ocular symptoms in postmenopausal women.

Summary:

  • A prospective study involving 14 healthy postmenopausal women was conducted.
  • Participants received oral equine conjugated estrogen and acetate-medroxyprogesterone for three months.

  • Ocular parameters including IOP, lacrimal secretion, and corneal thickness were measured before and after treatment.

    • Impact:

    • HRT led to a significant reduction in intraocular pressure (10.8%).
    • Lacrimal secretion (reflected and basal) showed marked increases (19% and 48%).
    • Corneal thickness increased by 16.6%, indicating positive effects on ocular physiology.
