Menstrual cycle dependent changes in blue‐on‐yellow visual field analysis of young diabetic women with severe non‐proliferative diabetic retinopathy

Abstract

Young diabetic women demonstrated a significant depression in visual field threshold sensitivity in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. Nasal visual fields are more prone to have menstrual cycle dependent threshold sensitivity depression. This should be taken into consideration in the clinical assessment of women with advanced diabetes who are at risk of glaucomatous optic neuropathy.
