BackgroundThyroid eye disease (TED) presents a management dilemma for strabismologists due to the variability of its clinical course. Prisms may be prescribed to relieve diplopia in small deviations. Surgical intervention, on the other hand, should not be done until the active phase of the disease has subsided. We report our experience with chemodenervation utilizing botulinum toxin (BT) injection in the management of TED-related strabismus.
