Hi everyone!

   I've been on HRT for about 5 1/2 years; I've worn soft, extended-wear contact lenses most of the time before and during HRT.
 
   I recently went to a new optometrist... My prescription changed (no surprise as I'm getting older) but he determined that, although both of my eyes have ALWAYS been the same, one eye had a slightly different strength than the other. He also measured my cornea as an 8.2 curve; I've ALWAYS had an 8.4.  The contacts I got as a result of this appointment start to irritate my eyes after a few hours of wear.

   Anyway, I know that estrogen can change the physiology of your eyes but has anyone experienced changes like mine or contact lens intolerance so late in the game? Or so suddenly? I don't have much confidence in my new optometrist but I wanted to check before I moved onto someone else.

  Thanks!

nope but this does worry me because I have read about hormone links to the eyes. And I've only been on hrt for 14 months and I'm considering laser eye surgery 0___o
...

hrt affecting eyes is a new idea to me but since my nose op my glasses aren't fitting well and I have been wondering if the new nose not needing to be hidden under glasses will allow me get contacts so I'll get an appointment and see if UK optiicans know anything about hrt and eyes.
