Table 4

Total macular thickness using HD-OCT: comparison between PCOS and control groups after metabolic stratification.

	PCOS group + insulin resistance	Control group + insulin resistance
Total macular thickness (m)
Temporal inner macula (TIM)	304.5 ± 7.5	292.7 ± 11.0	0.035
Inferior inner macula (IIM)	316.3 ± 12.3	288.0 ± 33.0	0.017
Nasal inner macula (NIM)	324.1 ± 11.9	302.0 ± 15.6	0.010
Nasal outer macula (NOM)	301.3 ± 13.2	283.0 ± 4.6	0.035
