Abstract
The purpose of this review is to investigate to what extent menopause is related to ocular pathological changes and whether hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can delay these changes to occur. This review of international bibliography reveals that hormonal changes during menopause are responsible for changes in lachrymal secretion, quality and quantity of tears, changes in conjunctiva and cornea, the development and progress of cataract, changes in intraocular pressure, the risk for glaucoma, the age-related macular degeneration, and changes in ocular blood flow.
