“…There is almost universal agreement, however, that most of these patients with marked vision decrease required rapid intervention. 10,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24 More than 75% of thyroid ophthalmopathy patients have either a history of systemic thyroid disease or relatively characteristic eye findings making these ocular diagnosis straight forward. The tests are done in the following sequence until a positive result is obtained.…”

BACKGROUND Hyperthyroidism can result in ocular manifestations even before systemic signs and symptoms develop. It is seen more in females and severe forms are more common in males. Early detection of ocular involvement can prevent vision threatening complications and troublesome discomforts affecting quality of vision. This clinical study highlights the importance of detailed ocular examination in hyperthyroidism. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty consecutive patients with ocular signs of hyperthyroidism were evaluated and followed up for an average period of 1 year. Detailed ocular examination included exophthalmometric measurements, ocular movements and Worth four-dot test. T3, T4, TSH, CT scan and antimicrosomal antibodies and antithyroglobulin antibodies were done along with routine investigations. Study Design-Prospective cohort study. RESULTS Statistical analysis did not reveal any correlation between the level of serum T3 and severity of ocular findings. Majority of the cases were euthyroid with moderate ocular myopathy having multiple muscle involvement. Inferior rectus was affected most. CONCLUSION The ocular signs of hyperthyroidism in the present study seem to be mild. The severe eye changes like corneal involvement and optic nerve changes were less common.

ABSTRACT.Purpose: To provide an overview of some of the current activities in eye research in the Nordic countries. Methods: The presentations at the biannual Nordic Congress of Ophthalmology, held in Tampere, Finland in 2002, were reviewed and the contributions found most noteworthy are included in this article along with a limited discussion of each research field. However, space requirements prevented the inclusion of many interesting scientific contributions. Results: Important contributions in various subfields of eye research and ophthalmology are reviewed. These include cornea, cataract, paediatric ophthalmology, glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, age-related macular degeneration, physiology and pharmacology and oncology. Conclusions: Eye research is very active in the Nordic countries and significant contributions are being made to ophthalmology in several fields on a world scale. We hope to continue to review Nordic contributions to eye research after each Nordic Congress of Ophthalmology and plan to make the reviews more systematic and comprehensive in the future.

“…Zur operativen Korrektur der Oberlidretraktion stehen mehrere chirurgische Verfahren zur Verfügung [6,9,13]. Des weiteren kann durch die Injektion von Botulinum-A-Toxin in den M. levator palpebrae superior ein Herabsinken des Oberlids erreicht werden.…”

Lid retraction in thyroid ophthalmopathy may lead to cosmetic and functional problems. Many surgical procedures are available to correct upper lid retraction. Only those procedures should be used that lead either to a limited lid lengthening or can be reversed in cases with complications. Upper lid gold weight implantation was first used to treat lagophthalmos in patients with facial palsy. Since 1995 only a few reports have appeared which discuss platinum as an implantation material. We report our experiences with a female patient who developed an upper lid retraction due to thyroid ophthalmopathy. Through implantation of a platinum weight which was adjusted exactly preoperatively, a symmetric palpebral fissure was achieved. Unilateral upper lid retraction with resultant eyelid asymmetry is a new indication for lid loading.
