The hypothyroid eye
Journal Title: Journal of the Indian Medical Association - Year 2018, Vol 116, Issue 4
Abstract
Thyroid disorders are characterized by various ocular abnormalities. Though these associations are usually discussed in the context of Graves’ disease, they are equally strong with hypothyroidism. This review describes the various ophthalmic disorders and complications that may occur in association with hypothyroidism. It highlights the ‘thyrovigilance’ that ophthalmologists and optometrists must practice while managing persons with eye disease. It also reinforces the high index of suspicion that endocrinologists and physicians should keep for conditions such as dry eye, open angle glaucoma and age related macular degeneration, while treating hypothyroidism.
