Abstract
Introduction: An association between various systemic conditions like diabetes mellitus, hypertension and glaucoma have been demonstrated. Likewise an association between thyroid orbitopathy and glaucoma have been described in various literatures. Methodology: Thyroid related orbitopathy was diagnosed on the basis of clinical history of thyroid dysfunction, eye symptoms and signs. Laboratory investigations – serum T3, T4 and TSH, which confirmed the thyroid status to be hyper, hypo or euthyroid and all patients, underwent ultrasonography and few computed tomography as required. Results: In our study minimum age was 18 years and the maximum was 69 years. The mean age was 46.17±10.06. One patient had family history of glaucoma and had normal intra ocular pressure, disc and fields.Family history of thyroid dysfunction was present in 7 patients (11.67%) and 8 patients (13.33%) were on medication for thyroid dysfunction. Conclusion: The labelling of thyroid related orbitopathy patients as ocular hypertensives should hence be made with care and these patients need careful follow up.
