Documented eye effects of Conjugated Estrogens

Conjugated estrogens act on estrogen receptors throughout the body, restoring estrogen signalling lost after menopause. Severe ocular events — sudden vision loss, persistent visual disturbances, retinal changes — are rare but require immediate evaluation.
