The sample consisted of 37 eyes of 37 patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (i.e., patient group) and 35 eyes of 35 individuals without it (i.e., control group). Patients newly diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome without any prior treatment for polycystic ovary syndrome were recruited from the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics at Kayseri City Hospital. Polycystic ovary syndrome was diagnosed by a gynecologist according to the Rotterdam criteria, which include menstrual disorder (e.g., oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea), hyperandrogenism shown in clinical or laboratory findings, and ultrasound evidence of polycystic ovaries.17 By contrast, individuals without polycystic ovary syndrome were recruited from among healthy women of reproductive age who had applied to the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics. Similarly aged participants were enrolled in each group, and only right eyes were analyzed.

‘Attitudes and perceptions on menstruation’ involve assessment of attitudes about menstruation and perceptions on it. Parker et al. (2009) included items of perceptions and attitudes towards various aspects of menstruation in their menstrual disorder questionnaire. For assessing menstrual health, researchers attempted or suggested to measure menstrual attitudes, confidence in performing menstrual health care behaviors, emotional feelings about menstruation, and perceptions about menstruation (Ali & Rizvi, 2010; Chandra-Mouli & Patel, 2017; Su & Lindell, 2016). Attitudes towards menstruation and perceptions about it have been measured as an effect indicator of menstrual health education, and also explored in qualitative studies for further understanding of menstrual health in adolescents (Chiou et al., 2007; Liu et al., 2012; Orringer & Gahagan, 2010; Secor-Turner et al., 2016).
