E18: The Menstrual Cycle and Vision: The Eye is a Gender Specific and Hormonally Sensitive Target Organ

"The Menstrual Cycle and Vision: The Eye is a Gender Specific and Hormonally Sensitive Target Organ," both co-authored by John C. Newlands and Paul R. Bates. The JMVH article examines the relationship between the menstrual cycle, fluctuating hormone levels, and various aspects of female visual function. It discusses historical research, changes in visual acuity, detection, discrimination, and the impact on the cornea, conjunctiva, saccadic system, and intraocular pressure. Ultimately, the authors conclude that the eye is a gender- and hormone-sensitive organ, with optimal visual performance often aligning with the mid-cycle phase when estrogen levels peak.
