title: [Conspicuous change of refraction in endocrine orbitopathy].
abstract: Author reports on 2 women, 42 respectively 58 years old, with Graves' Ophthalmopathy. In both cases acute considerable change of refraction was noticed: progression of preexistent myopia. Author suggests edema and infiltration of lymphocytes and plasmacyts of ciliary-body, pathologic-anatomical substratum of the most changes of orbita in this disease, responsible for etiology.
