Thyroid ophthalmopathy is frequently missed at the beginning; most of them are minor and don't need any treatment. The severe and active ophthalmopathies only need to be cured. The well-established therapeutics are currently corticosteroids and orbital radiotherapy. Associating their use maximizes their respective effects.
