Ocular Surface Disease Test Results, Corneal Biomechanical Properties, and Structural Parameters in Patients With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the ocular surface disease test results, anterior segment parameters, and ocular response analyzer (ORA) findings of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients with those of healthy reproductive age female controls.

Inclusion Criteria:
