The hormonal supplements included oral estrogen (n=3), oral progesterone (n=3), antiandrogen cyproterone (n=1) and isotretinoin (n=1). Ocular surface evaluation revealed mean NIBUT of 9.9 \u00b1 1.6 seconds and mean TMH of 0.27 \u00b1 0.05 mm, assessed non-invasively using Oculus keratograph 5M (K5M). Meibography (K5M) showed near total loss of all meibomian glands (n=8\/12 eyelids) with residual ghost glands in all four eyelids of two patients, and gland shortening alone in one patient. The gland morphology did not change following intense thermal pulsation treatment or cessation of hormonal therapy. <ns3:bold>Conclusions:<\/ns3:bold> Near-total irreversible meibomian gland loss was seen in two young PCOS women taking hormonal supplements. Collaboration between ophthalmologists and gynecologists is advisable for early detection and better understanding of dry eye disease (DED) progression in these patients.<\/ns3:p>","DOI":"10.12688\/f1000research.139229.2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,11]],"date-time":"2024-07-11T14:36:59Z","timestamp":1720708619000},"page":"1154","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.12688\/f1000research.crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Case Series: Severe meibomian gland loss in polycystic ovarian syndrome patients on estrogen-progesterone therapy: A case series"],"prefix":"10.12688","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Japmehr Kaur","family":"Sandhu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7420-9438","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Swati","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5030-5003","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sayan","family":"Basu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2560","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"661-665","DOI":"10.1080\/02713683.2016.1233985","article-title":"Evaluation of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Obesity.","volume":"42","author":"G Baser","year":"2017","journal-title":"Curr.
