Abstract: . Purpose:  In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of peribulbar triamcinolone injections to treat inflammatory signs of Graves’ ophthalmopathy (GO) in patients with moderate to severe GO and associated optic neuropathy (ON). Methods:  Twenty‐one patients with active GO [clinical activity score (CAS) ≥ 4] and systemic thyroid disease under control were enrolled in this prospective pilot study. Peribulbar triamcinolone acetonide was injected in each orbit (42 eyes), in four doses of 20 mg at 2‐week in… Show more
