Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common endocrinological disorder of females in the reproductive age group.It can produce changes in the ocular tissues and thereby affect vision.In this study,we aim to compare intraocular pressure, central corneal thickness, central macular thickness, retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, Schirmers test and tear break up time between the eyes of women with and without PCOS. Methods and Material: This study included 60 eye of 30 women with PCOS(Group 1) and 60 eyes of 30 healthy women (Group 2). Intraocular pressures (IOP) were assessed using Goldman applanation tonometry, central corneal thickness (CCT) using pachymeter, retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and central macular thickness (CMT) using optical coherence tomography (OCT), Schirmers test using standardized strips and tear break up time (TBUT) were assessed for all women. Results: The Mean Central Corneal Thickness, average RNFL, superior average RNFL and nasal average RNFL thicknesses were higher in patients with PCOS than in healthy women (all p
