CARLSBAD, Calif. — In this Healio Video Perspective from the Women in Ophthalmology Summer Symposium, Lisa M. Nijm, MD, JD, discusses the burden of thyroid eye disease and how it affects quality of life.
According to Nijm, CEO of Women in Ophthalmology, disease burden is often not properly assessed by the clinical measurements for thyroid eye disease. Thus, it is up to ophthalmologists to engage with patients about how the disease may affect their daily activities.
“Sometimes, what appears to be mild disease clinically actually has a great effect on the quality of life of our patients,” she said.
