Introduction
Three systems are commonly referenced when classifying and grading uveitis:
· International Uveitis Study Group (ISUG)
· National Eye Institute Scale (NEI)
· Standardization of Uveitis Nomenclature (SUN)
Thyroid Eye Disease
Thyroid eye disease (TED), also known as Graves ophthalmopathy or thyroid-associated orbitopathy, is an autoimmune inflammatory disorder of the orbit characterized by enlargement of extraocular muscles, expansion of orbital fat, and secondary effects on the eyelids, ocular surface, and optic nerve. (1, 2) Although most commonly associated with Graves disease, TED may also occur in euthyroid or hypothyroid patients, including those with Hashimoto thyroiditis, demonstrating that the autoimmune mechanisms underlying orbital inflammation are distinct from thyroid hormone status alone.

They are being mentored by one of my former ophthalmology residents, Dr. Brent Aebi. The posts are primarily authored by the medical student, and reviewed/edited by myself and Dr. Aebi.
