چکیده
Previous reports have indicated the usefulness of Io per cent. Guanethidine eye-drops in reducing lid retraction and relieving symptoms in patients with dysthyroid eye disease (Sneddon and Turner, I966; Gay and Wolksteip, I966; Crombie and Lawson, I967). Administration of these eye drops produces local irritation in about 50 per cent. of patients and, although this is rarely severe, superficial punctate keratitis may occur if the drops are continued for longer than one week (Crombie and Lawson, I967). We have used the less concentrated 5 per cent. Guanethidine eye drops and report results on 2I patients with dysthyroid eye disease.
