Brief summary
It is aimed to compare the ocular findings in patients with natural and surgical menopause.
Detailed description
To compare the parameters such as fundus examination, macular thickness, visual acuity and lens opacities among female patients diagnosed with menopause between the ages of 40-65.The criteria for exclusion from the study are the presence of a history of illness, drug use, smoking and alcohol use.Inclusion criteria were female patients who were in menopause and who did not use any medications. For surgical menopause, the uterus and ovaries were surgically removed at least 3 months ago.
Interventions
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTmeasurement of macular thickness, corneal thickness and lens opacities
The incidence of macular thickness, Corneal thickness, intraocular pressure and lens opacities will be investigated by an ophthalmologist.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Macular thickness measurement | 3 months after menopause | Macular thickness(micron) in both eyes will be measured by optical coherence tomography, |
| Detecting lens opacities | 3 months after menopause | Lens opacities (Grade 1,2,3,4) will be measured by indirect biomicroscopy, |
| Intraocular pressure measurement | 3 months after menopause | Intraocular pressures( mm Hg) will be measured and recorded with the applanation tonometry device. |
| Comparison of all detected data | 3 months after menopause | All numerical data will be analyzed and compared with relevant statistical tests and the p value will be accepted as less than 0.05 to be considered a statistically significant difference. |
