the statistical analysis of the data, the Independent Samples t test was

mean age was 23.43±4.52 (16-35) in the group with polycystic ovary syndrome,
mean age level was found as 24.09±6.14 (18-41) among the controls (P=0,549).
Intraocular pressure values were measured and found as 17.73±2.67 mmHg in the
group with polycystic ovary syndrome, while the values were 15.21±2.42 mmHg in
the controls (P </span> <span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:200%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;"><0,001) </span> <span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:200%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;">. Although it was
79.41±10.28 <span>µm </span> in the group with
polycystic ovary syndrome, retina nerve fiber layer thickness in the nasal
quadrant was found to be 73.83±10.98 <span>µm among
the controls. </span> </span> </p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%;"> <b> <span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:200%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;">Conclusion: </span> </b> <span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:200%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;"> We found that the
increased levels seen in intraocular pressure and retina nerve fiber layer
thickness in the nasal quadrants of the patients with polycystic ovary syndrome
were statistically significance. Hence, we recommend that the patients with
polycystic ovary syndrome should be closely evaluated as to eye assessment. </span> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%;"> <br /> </p>}, number={2}, publisher={Duzce University}
