Abstract: A 40-year-old woman in whom Graves' disease was recently diagnosed comes for a follow-up visit. She has been taking methimazole, at a dose of 10 mg per day, and is now euthyroid, but for the past 3 months, she has had bothersome eye symptoms, including redness, tearing, grittiness, photophobia, diplopia at the extremes of gaze, and ocular pain associated with eye movements. She smokes 10 cigarettes per day. How should Graves' ophthalmopathy be managed?
