MMMoumi Maity MGMarlies Gijs RAReiko Arita

Key Points

To investigate the relationship between polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and dry eye disease (DED) through a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Conducted a systematic review of studies on PCOS and dry eye disease.
Analyzed tear volume and tear film stability parameters in women with and without PCOS.
Assessed adherence to DEWS II criteria for diagnosing dry eye disease.
Women with PCOS show mild dry eye symptoms.
Tear volume and stability parameters are similar between women with PCOS and those without.
Most parameters do not meet DEWS II criteria for a DED diagnosis, indicating low certainty.

Abstract

Women with PCOS can experience mild dry eye symptoms; however, tear volume and tear film stability are similar in women with PCOS and those without the condition. In most studies, tear film parameters of PCOS women do not meet DEWS II criteria for DED diagnosis, though they are heterogeneous and have low levels of certainty.
