Özet
Aim: Menopause can play a role in changing eye findings. This study sought to examine early postsurgical menopause patients in comparison with natural menopause patients and premenopausal patients in terms of ocular findings. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study included data from 108 women (48 surgical, 30 natural menopausal and 30 perimenopausal women) attending the Gynaecology and Ophthalmology clinics. Data included age, women blood level of hormone, and eye findings at presentation. Results: Women in surgical menopause differed in mean increase in bilateral intraocular pressure compared to women in natural menopause and perimenopause. Women in natural menopause had higher mean scores for bilateral intraocular pressure compared with women in perimenopause. Women in natural menopause had increased mean bilateral eye macular thickness compared to women in surgical menopause and perimenopause. Women in surgical menopause had significantly higher mean right and left eye macular thickness than women in perimenopause. Bilateral eye central corneal thickness scores were significantly higher surgical menopause and natural menopause women than perimenopause women. Scores for bilateral eye grade were similar across the groups. Both surgical menopause and natural menopause were in significant associations with the intraocular pressure, macular thickness, and central corneal thickness of the right and left eye. Discussion: Although there are no clear data on menopause and ocular symptoms in published studies, this study shows that menopause has significant adverse effects on intraocular pressure and macular thickness when pre-menopausal women are compared with menopausal women.
