Abstract |
The author's experience, limited to some twenty operations, mirrors the great experience of other clinics. The need to be aware of compressive optic neuropathy (CON) in endocrine-related orbital disease ( EROD) is outlined. The value of orbital decompression in CON, severe corneal exposure and cosmetically unacceptable proptosis is mentioned. The author's technique is outlined. Three illustrative cases are briefly described.
