For surgical menopause, the uterus and ovaries were surgically removed at least 3 months ago.

Treatment and study plan

measurement of macular thickness, corneal thickness and lens opacities

Diagnostic Test

The incidence of macular thickness, Corneal thickness, intraocular pressure and lens opacities will be investigated by an ophthalmologist.

Primary outcomes

  1. Macular thickness measurement

    Time frame: 3 months after menopause

    Macular thickness(micron) in both eyes will be measured by optical coherence tomography,

  2. Detecting lens opacities

    Time frame: 3 months after menopause

    Lens opacities (Grade 1,2,3,4) will be measured by indirect biomicroscopy,

  3. Intraocular pressure measurement

    Time frame: 3 months after menopause

    Intraocular pressures( mm Hg) will be measured and recorded with the applanation tonometry device.

  4. Comparison of all detected data

    Time frame: 3 months after menopause

    All numerical data will be analyzed and compared with relevant statistical tests and the p value will be accepted as less than 0.05 to be considered a statistically significant difference.
