Hi, this is my first non intro post, so bear with me if I don't do this right.
I understand that one side effect of HRT is a change in the ocular disk shape and a possible lowering of intraocular pressure...
I have congenital glaucoma that was successfully operated on 13 years ago.
I plan to talk to both my opthalmologist and an endocrinologist about this when I get a chance, but do any of you know of resources or have experience with pre existing ocular surgical sites and the effects of HRT? Or even just the effects on pre existing glaucoma.
Thanks for reading!

That really is a specific question.  I think it requires an expert to tell you.

With that said, I saw this related article:
