This is the first study to systematically perform an ophthalmological examination in women with PCOS, who were found to have a higher prevalence of potentially serious eye health problems compared with controls. These data suggest that ophthalmological-metabolic-genetic connections in women with PCOS require further investigation. Confirmation of these data and increased attention to eye health in women with PCOS appears warranted.
