Orbital decompression improves visual function and macular blood perfusion status in patients with thyroid-related eye disease
This study found that TAO patients with visual impairment had lower macular blood flow perfusion than those with normal vision. Endoscopic orbital decompression surgery was found to improve both the best-corrected visual acuity and macular blood flow perfusion in TAO patients with visual impairment, and the improvement in visual acuity was correlated with the improvement in macular blood flow perfusion.
