The study contributes valuable insights into the ocular aspects of OPMD. It reveals that OPMD patients often experience a range of ocular symptoms, such as ptosis, abnormalities in eye movements, strabismus, and potentially diplopia, which can significantly impact their quality of life. The findings underscore the importance of regular ophthalmological follow-up for these patients to address these symptoms effectively. The study is significant in contributing to the limited but growing knowledge about the ocular manifestations of OPMD and the management of these symptoms to improve the quality of life for patients suffering from this condition.
