Many previous studies in the world revealed that the prevalence of myopia is increased during pregnancy because of metabolic and hormonal changes . In the course of pregnancy, there is an increased level of estrogen and progesterone, which cause fluid retention in the cornea. This leads to corneal edema, thickness and curvature, and amplified lens thickness, which subsequently increases refractive power of the eye and end-up with myopia Myopia can be also associated with neuro-ophthalmic and other pre-existing conditions precipitated by gravidity .
