Hyperthyroid ophthalmopathy is caused by excessive secretion of thyroid hormone and compression of retrobulbar nerve.

The eye process of hyperthyroidism is difficult to recover, and during the treatment of hyperthyroidism, some eye processes have not improved, only a few patients will improve during the treatment of hyperthyroidism.

Many patients with hyperthyroidism still have exophthalmos after treatment. It's normal to see an ophthalmologist in this situation. In other words, there is basically no treatment for hyperthyroidism eye disease at present. Simple treatment of exophthalmos will improve some of them, but many will worsen. Be careful when choosing a treatment plan.

Exophthalmos protection: 1. Pay attention to rest, don't stay up late, and watch less TV and computer. 2. Prevent eye infection and wear colored glasses when going out. 3。 When sleeping, raise your head to reduce retrobulbar edema. Don't use your eyes for a long time. Let your eyes rest every two hours.
