Ophthalmologic aspects of thyroid-related orbitopathy.
This article explores many of the ophthalmologic aspects of thyroid-related orbitopathy. The eight main areas of clinical concern--ocular comfort, optic nerve function, exophthalmos, eyelid position, diplopia, cosmesis, soft-tissue signs, and psychologic factors--are discussed so that practitioners may be more secure in dealing with these areas and in helping patients to be more comfortable both physically and psychologically.
