How does perimenopause affect our vision?
For actress Halle Berry, it showed up as white flashes and trouble focusing.
Here’s the science:
🔬 As estrogen levels decline during perimenopause, tear glands can produce less moisture—leaving the eyes dry, irritated, and more sensitive to light.
⚡ Lower estrogen also affects tiny blood vessels in the retina and optic nerve, which can cause brief visual disturbances like bright spots or “flashes.”
🧠 Hormonal shifts can influence nerve signaling, momentarily disrupting how visual information travels from your eyes to your brain.
When Berry asked her doctor why this was happening, he admitted it was linked to menopause—but only after she said the word first.
That hesitation? It’s a sign of how deeply women’s midlife health is still stigmatized, even in medical settings.
At Meditrina, we believe in speaking openly about perimenopause—because you can’t care for what you can’t name.
This stage of life deserves not just recognition, but informed, compassionate support.
