Advances in Treatment of Thyroid Orbitopathy | UPMC

Thyroid orbitopathy occurs most often when a patient has a thyroid dysfunction, such as Gray’s Hyperthyroidism. Although symptoms may be mild, a delayed diagnosis can often lead to apoptosis, double vision, or even vision loss due to compression optic neuropathy. Jenny Will, MD, of the UPMC Eye Center provides an overview of the condition and discusses how a multidisciplinary approach from an endocrinologist, rheumatologist, and ophthalmologist, combined with the availability of new biologics and immunosuppressive therapies, can help provide positive outcomes for patients with this disease.
