@loplady was your gynecologist indicating that HRT had caused the ocular stroke and blood clots in these patients and if so were they on a transdermal estrogen patch or oral estrogen? Up to date studies conclude that the patch has a very low risk for blood clots as it bypasses the liver.

You may want to research the info regarding the pellet form of hormone replacement
A small pellet about the size of a grain of rice is inserted just below the skin on the buttock near the hip every 12 weeks.

@debbie1956 Yes she was indicating that HRT caused the ocular stroke and blood clots. I didn't have enough knowledge at the time to ask if it was oral or transdermal. She was quite agitated also and said "I'll give it to you if you want, everyone seems to want to go on HRT these days." A friend also saw her around that time and had a similar experience. She saw her a few months later and the doctor was apologetic for her responses to her regarding HRT. My friend switched gynecologists. I am still deciding if I want to pursue it. For me, it is just for bone health, thus why I have started K2 MK4 45mg/day.
