    Is there a correlation? I was born with cataracts and I'm deathly afraid of losing my vision to HRT. I can't find anything on it online and I'm going to talk to my ophthalmologist very soon... is there anything you guys can say to ease my worries?

    I seriously doubt it will effect your eyesight. It's a hormone.. And I am bad at explaining things.. but just, I seriously doubt it.

    Testosterone, or HRT in general, will not cause you to lose your vision.

    Like the guys above me said, seriously doubtful. I have never heard of losing your eyesight because of HRT. That is genetic, mostly.

    Now your hair, on the other hand, might be lost or thin out. But your eyes should be alright.

    You'll be fine ^_^ I'm 4 months on T and the only reason why i got bad vision is because i haven't warn my glasses in years like the doctors have told me.
    T will not effect your vision.
