Thyroid-Associated Ophthalmopathy is associated with dysthyroid or euthyroid status. It is an autoimmune disease. It is also known as Grave's Orbitopathy or Thyroid Eye Disease or Thyroid Related Orbitopathy. The clinical presentation varies from mild to most severe, sight-threatening, disease. It can cause functional deficits, cosmetic disfigurement and compromised quality of life. A timely interventional approach by an oculoplastic and an endocrinologist can make a huge difference in the final outcome of the disease.
