| PubMedID- 21326131 | Purpose: the signs of thyroid eye disease include proptosis, eyelid retraction, and exposure of the ocular surface, resulting in a symptomatic and unsatisfactory aesthetic appearance. |
| PubMedID- 25198394 | Conclusions: while orbital fat decompression can and, at times, should be combined with bone decompression to treat proptosis resulting from thyroid eye disease, orbital fat decompression alone is associated with lower rates of surgical morbidity, and is especially effective for group i and ii patients, those with greater preoperative proptosis, and those with a history of radiation. |
| PubMedID- 23139030 | Conclusion: the long-term effect of unilateral orbital fat decompression for the reduction of proptosis in patients with thyroid eye disease may be weak, leading to regression. |
| PubMedID- 23721066 | Conclusions: asymmetric thyroid eye disease with the appearance of unilateral exophthalmos at the initial examination is a fairly frequent event, while subsequent contralateral proptosis occurs less commonly. |
