OBJECTIVE Determination of the effects of hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) on various ocular parameters and symptoms in postmenopausal women. DESIGN Prospective study. SETTING Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University "Federico II" of Naples. PATIENTS 14 healthy women treated orally with equine conjugated estrogen in continuous (0,625 mg/daily) and acetate-medroxyprogesteron (10 mg/daily) from 17th to 28th day for three months. MEASURES Ocular symptomatology, intraocular pressure (IOP), lacrimal secretion, reflected and basal and corneal thickness. RESULTS After 3 months of HRT the IOP was reduced of 10.8% (p < 0.005), the lacrimal secretion, reflected and basal, increased of 19% and 48%, respectively and the corneal thickness increased of 16.6%. CONCLUSION The HRT has a positive effect on ocular physiology.
