Most women know that Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) causes hormonal imbalances and irregular cycles. However, many are unaware that PCOS can also directly affect their eyes and vision. At Keen Sight Optical Chamber in Soura, we help patients recognize these early ocular connections.

How Does PCOS Affect Your Eyes?

PCOS causes hormonal fluctuations that reduce the quality of your natural tears. This leads to faster tear evaporation, resulting in dry eyes, burning sensations, eye fatigue, and temporary visual blurriness.

Hormones help control the oil glands in your eyelids that keep your eyes moist. When PCOS alters these hormone levels, your eyes may show the following symptoms:

  • Dry & Gritty Eyes: A feeling of dryness, burning, or redness, especially when using screens.
  • Temporary Blurry Vision: Vision that occasionally fogs up during reading or driving and clears after blinking.
  • Eye Fatigue & Discomfort: Feeling heavy eyelids or discomfort when wearing contact lenses.

Awareness Tip

If you have PCOS and experience frequent eye dryness or discomfort, simple routine tests can evaluate your tear quality and help keep your vision comfortable.
