Middle East Afr J Ophthalmol. 2015 Jul-Sep;22(3):307-11. doi: 10.4103/0974-9233.159731.

Abstract

Thyroid orbitopathy causes a unique form of strabismus with adult-onset diplopia. Prisms can be a temporizing measure, but many patients require strabismus surgery, which can be challenging. In this article, we highlight clinical guidelines for addressing strabismus due to thyroid orbitopathy and review our surgical experience.

Keywords: Diplopia; Graves’ Disease; Restrictive Strabismus; Strabismus Surgery; Thyroid Orbitopathy.
