title: Perceptual problems in thyroid eye disease.
abstract: Graves' disease affects the individual in many significant ways, but perhaps the most immediately obvious is its effect on the eyes. The author explores how exophthalmus and proptosis associated with the disease can create not only physical and perceptual difficulties for the patient, but also complicated problems with social interaction, self-image and psychological functioning.
