Abstract
In ophthalmology, few studies have been designed to investigate possible differences between women and men in a consistent manner. Some evidence is, however, available showing significance male-female differences. The importance of gender in ophthalmological research is emphasized by focusing on some knowledge about sex differences in ocular components in relation to cataract surgery and on the influence of the female hormones on the cornea.Keywords
