The study found that central corneal thickness (CCT) and intraocular pressure (IOP) are significantly elevated in individuals with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) phenotypes. These findings suggest that PCOS should be considered an important factor when evaluating female patients for anterior segment diseases and glaucoma, indicating a potential link between PCOS and ocular health issues.
