Abstract: Pregnancy is known to cause refractive changes as a result of various hormonal changes occurring during pregnancy. These changes may persist for a few weeks post-partum and during lactation. In this article we discuss various refractive issues in pregnancy that have an effect on contact lens use, myopia and the outcome of refractive surgery.
