Ophthalmopathy is a hallmark of Graves disease. - Approximately 25-30% of patients with Graves disease have clinical evidence of Graves ophthalmopathy. Thyrotropin receptor is highly expressed in the fat and connective tissue of patients with Graves ophthalmopathy.
- Measuring diplopia fields, eyelid fissures, range of extraocular muscles, visual acuity, and proptosis provides quantitative assessment to follow the course of ophthalmopathy.
- Signs of corneal or conjunctival irritation include conjunctival injection and chemosis.
- A complete ophthalmologic examination, including retinal examination and slit-lamp examination by an ophthalmologist, is indicated if the patient is symptomatic.
