Ophthalmic management of thyroid eye disease

GE Rose


Moorfields Eye Hospital, London EC1V 2PD, United Kingdom.


The ophthalmic management of thyroid eye disease has changed markedly over the last 2 decades: There has been a significant trend towards more surgical involvement in both the active disease phase (with orbital decompression for relief of optic neuropathy, or eyelid surgery for severe exposure keratitis) and in the quiescent phase – with rehabilitative decompression (rather than eyelid surgery) having become the procedure of choice for most patients with established proptosis.

The contemporary ophthalmic management of patients with thyroid eye disease will be presented, with illustrative cases and an outline of the available surgical procedures.
