| Objective: To evaluate corneal endothelial cell density and morphology in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Material and Methods: This prospective study included 46 (46 eyes) PCOS patients. An age-matched group of 46 (46 eyes) volunteers served as controls. Corneal measurements were performed using a specular microscopy (Noncon Robo SP8000, Konan Medical, Hyogo, Japan). Cell density (CD), hexagonal cell ratio (HEX) and coefficient of value (CV) of the endothelial cell layer were calculated at central, superior, inferior, nasal and temporal cornea. Results: The mean ages of the PCOS patients and the control group were 25.54±5.29 years (range 20–38) and 28.55±4.78 years (range 22–37) respectively (p> 0.05). There were no significant differences between the mean refractive errors and intraocular pressure (IOP) obtained in two groups (p= 0.455, p= 0.511 respectively). Central corneal thickness was lower in PCOS group compared to age-matched controls (561.63±39.22 μ versus 576.96±44.55 μ), but it did not show a statistically significant difference (p= 0.083). There was no statistically significant difference in endothelial cell density at all measured areas in PCOS patients compared to controls (p central= 0.541, p superior= 0.881, p inferior= 0.855, p nasal= 0.509, p temporal= 0.758). Although in comparision to control group hexagonal cell ratio of PCOS patients were higher at all areas except for superior cornea, but statistically significant difference was not found at any measured areas (p central= 0.593, p superior= 0.889, pinferior= 0.418, p nasal= 0.626, p temporal= 0.205).
