Interferon-alpha-associated bilateral simultaneous ischemic optic neuropathy.
The authors describe one patient with essential thrombocytosis and one with chronic hepatitis C infection who developed bilateral simultaneous anterior ischemic optic neuropathy within 3 months of starting treatment with interferon-alpha. One patient had several typical risk factors for conventional AION; the other did not. These cases are the fourth and fifth reported examples of this phenomenon. Interferon-alpha treatment may cause or aggravate the risk of developing anterior ischemic optic neuropathy. Vulnerable patients should be advised of this potential complication, assisted in reducing risk factors, and monitored for optic nerve and retinal vascular complications.

[The effects of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on the human eye].
HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) is the administration of low estrogen preparation to post-menopausal women. This therapy is considered to be effective in protecting various human tissues from aging processes, which are also related to the decrease in endogenous estrogen level. Estrogen receptors were found in many human tissues and organs, including the eye. Therefore HRT may also have a beneficial effect on the eye and its adnexa. This review presents the ever growing data accumulated over the past years concerning the beneficial effects of HRT on various eye pathologies. It was found that HRT may relieve dry eye symptoms in post-menopausal women, may decrease the intraocular pressure and may delay cataract formation in treated women. In the retina, HRT may play a role in decreasing the incidence of Aging Macular Degeneration (AMD) in post-menopausal women.
