The effect of hormones of varied action spectrum on lipoperoxidation of unsaturated fatty acids in the eye tissues has been studied. Both antioxidant and prooxidant action of diverse hormones on the sclera, cornea and ciliary body has been demonstrated with respect to the hormonal dose, exposure time and other factors. Potential participation of lipoperoxidation processes in the development of ophthalmopatholody is discussed.
