This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether adding regular exercise to a medication called metformin and a low-calorie diet can help improve dry eyes in women who have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and obesity. The study will compare two groups: one that exercises three times per week in addition to the medication and diet, and one that only receives the medication and diet changes. Researchers want to see if the exercise group experiences greater improvement in eye dryness and other PCOS-related symptoms.
Women with PCOS often struggle with dry eyes and obesity, and current treatments may not fully address all these problems together. This trial explores whether adding exercise to standard treatment might provide extra benefits for eye health and overall wellness.

You will be randomly assigned to one of two groups for 12 weeks. Both groups will take metformin three times daily and follow a low-calorie diet. If you're in the exercise group, you'll also walk on a treadmill for one hour, three times per week. Throughout the study, researchers will monitor your eye dryness, weight, and PCOS symptoms to see which approach works best.
