Introduction: This study aims to analyze risk factors for ocular surface irritation symptoms in patients with non-corneal-damage inactive mild and moderate-to-severe Graves' orbitopathy (GO).

Methods: This retrospective study enrolled 307 patients with non-corneal-damage inactive GO admitted to Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital from April 2017 to September 2023. The activity and severity of GO were evaluated using the Clinical Activity Score (CAS) and the European Group on Graves' Orbitopathy (EUGOGO) classification, respectively.
