Background: Females in the hour of menstruation feel visual inconvenience due to the hormone estrogen. Basically, visual disturbances such as obscuring of close to vision after delayed distance and close to work, headache, poor focus, irritability, eye strain, and so forth. &ldquo;At the point when women&rsquo;s estrogen and progesterone levels significantly decline, as is regular with menstruation, vision is typically less &lsquo;nearsighted&rsquo; than before menstruation (follicular phase),&rdquo; said Dr. Pang. Aim and Objectives: To evaluate the changes in accommodative status like accommodative facility, accommodative insufficiency, excessive accommodation and amplitude of accommodation during ovulation and follicular phase. Method: This cross-sectional study involved 60 female understudies (undergraduates/students) aged 18-24 years. They underwent binocular vision evaluation to check the accommodation related changes in ovulation and follicular phases during the cycle. A bunch of inquiries have been identified with symptoms during the monthly cycle and data has been recorded. Results: The present study showed that the subjects were not having any problems related to accommodation before menstruation. During the time of menstruation, amplitude of accommodation was found to be low (7.1&plusmn;2) in 66.6% of the subjects (40 students) and reduced accommodative facility was observed in 76.6% (46 students). Accommodative insufficiency was found among 63.3% of the subjects (38 students). During the time of menstruation, head ache, poor concentration, irritability, difficulty in reading and blurring of vision was found among 66.7% of the subjects (40 students). Conclusion: The present study showed that during menstruation, some subjects were facing accommodative disorders such as low amplitude of accommodation, accommodative insufficiency and accommodative infacility. It is clear that because of such changes in accommodation, a large number of subjects were facing head ache, poor concentration, irritability, difficulty in reading, and blurring of vision during menstruation.
