@article{Cheng_2016, title={Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy: a neuro-ophthalmologist’s perspective}, volume={15}, url={https://hkjo.hk/index.php/hkjo/article/view/37}, abstractNote={<p>Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy is an autoimmune process representing the commonest and most important extra-thyroidal manifestation of Graves’ disease. Ophthal- mologists are often the first doctors to see these patients. Due to a wide range of ocular features, patients with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy may be seen by more than one ophthalmic sub-specialist. Neuro-ophthalmol- ogists are often involved in the management of patients with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy since diplopia is one of its common and debilitating symptoms. Moreover, visual loss due to dysthyroid optic neuropathy is a poten- tially irreversible sight-threatening complication if treat- ment is delayed. This article focuses on the management of patients with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy with diplopia or dysthyroid optic neuropathy, from a neuro- ophthalmologist’s perspective. Practical issues and pitfalls in the management of these patients are elucidated.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Hong Kong Journal of Ophthalmology}, author={Cheng, Andy CO}, year={2016}, month={Jan.}, pages={30–34} }
