Sectoral and Layer-Specific Corneal Thinning in Thyroid Eye Disease: A Cross-Sectional Study

Key Points

• This study aims to investigate the relationship between thyroid eye disease and structural changes in the cornea.
• Cross-sectional design
• Assessment of corneal thinning across different layers
• Focus on stromal layer changes
• Significant thinning observed in the cornea of individuals with thyroid eye disease
• Notable structural changes primarily found in the stromal layer
• Findings suggest potential clinical repercussions for managing ocular issues associated with thyroid eye disease
