Abstract

Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy(TAO) is a progressive eye disease characterized by immune-mediated inflammation of the extraocular muscles and orbital connective tissue. TAO tends to have complex and diverse symptoms and signs, with the features of diversity and concealment, which seriously affect the quality of life of patients. The pathogenesis of TAO is closely associated with thyroid autoimmunity. This article reviews the pathogenesis, clinical features, and treatment of TAO.

Key words
