Beyond Hormones: PCOS's Impact on Eye Health

Dear Dr. Renukaprasad A R, During clinical practice, have you ever encountered PCOS patients suffering from DED? PCOS is a multisystemic disorder involving various diseases, including diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, and endometrial cancer. The ocular system is one of the systems affected by PCOS. Several clinical studies have demonstrated a link between PCOS and ocular surface diseases, such as meibomian gland dysfunction, tear film instability, and DED. Hence, dry eye evaluation is needed in PCOS patients. Further, PCOS patients should be referred to ophthalmologists for regular eye checkups to ensure ocular safety and health.
