But not only these areas are disturbed during the hormonal changes or fluctuations that stage of life. And during the various phases of the menstrual cycle can register small changes, as happens during pregnancy.
Among the most notable changes to eye level, are:
- difficulties with contact lenses
- increase in the need to use glasses to see at close range .
- dry eye
- light sensitivity
- increased tearing
- eyes "tired"
- redness or swelling of the eyelids .
Of these complaints, one of the most common is usually the dry eye syndrome, whose manifestations include:
- itching or feeling of discomfort or sand in the eye
- burning or stinging eyes
- excessive tearing, eye after a very dry period
- eye pain or redness
There are many resources to deal with these annoyances, such as special eye drops, many of which are primarily decongestants, and / or ocular lubricants are also useful sunglasses (even better, with UV protection, etc.).
However other changes such as changes in near vision or episodes of blurred vision, clearly indicate the need to go to the ophthalmologist.
Remember that menopause not only demands the clinical checks, gynecological and endocrine, but also a visit to the ophthalmologist, because simple measures and widely available resources can overcome these particular discomfort during menopause.
