Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of menopause on ocular health and visual function.
Method: Sixty-two women (31 premenopausal and 31 postmenopausal) who visited Rasht Health Center were selected and matched based on their ages and compared in terms of their hormonal status, central corneal thickness (CCT), contrast sensitivity (CS), binocular vision variables and refractive error.
Results: CCT and corneal curvature were significantly thinner in postmenopausal women. However, menopause had no significant impact on CS, binocular vision or refractive error.
Conclusion: Age-related hormonal abnormalities play a significant role in corneal thinning, highlighting the intricate relationship between systemic hormonal changes and ocular health. In contrast, binocular vision functions remain unaffected by menopause.
期刊介绍：
Climacteric is the official journal of the International Menopause Society (IMS). As an international peer-reviewed journal it publishes original research and reviews of all aspects of aging in women.
Climacteric was founded by the IMS in 1998 and today has become a leading journal in the publication of peer-reviewed papers on the menopause, climacteric and mid-life health. Topics covered include endocrine changes, symptoms attributed to the menopause and their treatment, hormone replacement and alternative therapies, lifestyles, and the counselling and education of peri- and postmenopausal women. Climacteric, published bimonthly, also features regular invited reviews, editorials and commentaries on recent developments.
The editorial review board of Climacteric includes leading scientific and clinical experts in the field of midlife medicine and research and is headed by its Editor-in-Chief, Professor Rod Baber of Australia. He and his team of Associate Editors act independently to set a clear editorial policy, co-ordinate peer review, and ensure a rapid response to submitted papers.
