What does HRT do to your eyes exactly?

[ImagineKate]

All I know is that my eyes look different. I can't quite pin down how exactly though, or whether it's just facial changes. Even if I cover my (shaped) eyebrows they look different.

So what is it exactly?

[ChloëAri]

The lens of the eyes change in curvature.
Also, I have Dennie-Morgan lines underneath my eyes, and HRT has greatly reduced their appearance.
Additionally, not fully related, but it seems that HRT changes colour perception.

I have Asian monolid eyelids, but in the past week, they have started to crease and turn into double eyelids.  My dad has monolids, but my mom has double eyelids, so I my eyes are starting to look more like her's.  I also noticed that in general, my eyes are more open and look bigger.

I also noticed that in general, my eyes are more open and look bigger.

Looking back on old pics of me I can see this change in my eyes, from smaller guy eyes to wider female eyes - maybe caused by a fat reduction around my eyes? Also, the whites of my eyes seem to be whiter now for some reason. They also seem far more sensitive to bright light than before.

My eyes have changed colour from a dark brown to a greeny brown in a ring from the outside inwards

My eyes went from green with a small amount of brown on the inner part of the iris to blue green with a very tiny amount of brown.

I look back on some old pics and compare to today. It seems as though my eyes are more "open" now although that could be just an illusion.

I don't know I've always had wide eyes, but maybe I've not been on hrt long enough to see a difference. Also, I have my mom's eyes, the same shape and same color, so maybe they will not change.

I have been thinking I might see this. What I notice is that I think I see more white around the iris than I remember. It's a little hard to tell because once I start looking at my eyes, it's hard to just open them naturally, but I do think something is different.

What? Nobody else got x-ray vision?

[Tamar]

Eyes wide open,and colour perception changed. Massively. From the world appearing a bleak monochrome place,to brilliant colour. High definition and 3D no less.   .  Sounds weird,I know,but that's the truth of it.

My eyes seem bigger and have become green in color. I don't recall them being green before that point.

No, but I can see for miles and miles and miles. Oh, yeah!

My eyes have gotten wider, maybe from loss of subcutaneous fat, maybe because, with less stress my forehead isn't furled anymore.

Depression causes the "bleak, monochrome" thing, but it could be structural, too, I suppose.

Yeah. I was on double strength antidepressants for over a decade before hrt,and still going downhill. I even had my end date planned. Within 2 months of starting,I had completely weaned myself of them. I think I notified my doctor about 8 months later.
Three years later,life is still wonderful.  ☺

Funny. Mine have always been a sorta brownish/olive green. Last week, I thought they looked more toward green. Maybe, though they always varied depending on the light / surroundings. It'd be pretty exciting if they changed.

I hope I get candy apple red.

My eyes were always on the brown end of the scheme coming in. I hope you get your wish the candy apple red eyes
