Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the effectiveness of subcutaneous injection of triamcinolone acetonide (SCTA) in treating eyelid issues (retraction and swelling) in patients with thyroid eye disease (TED), involving 102 patients over a 12-month period.
- Results showed that SCTA significantly improved eyelid symptoms in 93% of cases, with the majority experiencing reductions in retraction, swelling, and lag; however, some patients required additional injections due to ongoing inflammation.
- While a single SCTA injection worked for about 60% of patients, further monitoring was recommended, and no serious side effects like elevated intraocular pressure were reported, although some women experienced menstrual disorders.
Introduction: This clinical study aimed to investigate the effect of brinzolamide, a topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, on corneal endothelial cells (CECs) in patients with glaucoma using a follow-up clinical study design.
Methods: Patients with primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension were administrated an ophthalmic solution of either latanoprost alone (LT) as a control (n = 18) or latanoprost plus brinzolamide (LT + BR; n = 16). CECs were examined at baseline and at 4, 12, 24, and 48 weeks in 18 and 16 eyes of the LT and LT + BR groups, respectively, using a non-contact specular microscope.
Background: While development of thyroid eye disease is rarely observed in pregnant women, here we report three cases of pregnant patients with severe dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON).
Case: Case 1, a 30 year-old woman with thyroid eye disease diagnosed during pregnancy and DON occurring at eight months. Visual acuity was 0.
Purpose: To determine if qualitatively defining the appearance of optic disc change was a valid characteristic of myopia in subjects with Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO) or primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
Methods: WE DEFINED TYPICAL TILT APPEARANCE AS THE SIMULTANEOUS PRESENCE OF THE FOLLOWING: an elliptical optic disc, a crescent, unequal sharpness of the cupping margin (horizontally), and nasally displaced vessels in the optic cup. Ninety-two eyes from 92 subjects each with GO or with POAG and no severe complications were included in the study after matching for spherical refractive errors.
Purpose: This observational case series investigated the occurrence and distribution of proptosis in Japanese patients with dysthyroid ophthalmopathy (DO). The relationship among lid retraction, lid swelling, and enlargement of extraocular muscles was also analyzed.
Methods: From 1993 to 2002, 10 931 patients (2240 men and 8691 women, average age; 39.
We evaluated various ophthalmic surgeries for patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy. In 2005, surgical procedures were employed on 178 patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy (male 69, female 109). Eyelid surgery was indicated for treatment of various anterior eye changes.
