Daily assessment of ocular and hormonal variables throughout the menstrual cycle
F. Feldman, J. Bain and A. R. Matuk
Eleven normal women, between the ages of 19 and 28, were examined at the
same time of day, every day of a complete menstrual cycle. Measurements of
intraocular pressure, anterior chamber depth, corneal thickness, and tear
production were obtained. Tonographic values were obtained on eight days
during the cycle. The results for ten of the women who were shown to have
ovulated during the study, were then correlated with daily blood levels of
luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, estrone, estradiol,
progesterone, and testosterone, as measured by techniques of
radioimmunoassay. No statistically valid correlations could be made when
the various studies were analyzed and correlated.
