Ophthalmopathy Endocrine

Endocrine ophthalmopathy is a complex symptom complex caused by an imbalance of hormones in the human body. Often, ophthalmopathy occurs against the background of chronic diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, hyperthyroidism, acromegaly, etc. The manifestation of endocrine ophthalmopathy in different cases may differ and be individual in nature.

Endocrine ophthalmopathy is divided into two main forms: diffuse and orbitobullous. In the first case, the process affects both orbits at once, and in the second, only one of them. In addition, in many cases, signs of keratitis and meibomitis may appear. Swelling of the optic disc and periorbital tissue occurs, and the periocular lymph nodes become enlarged and painful. A change in the color and size of the iris occurs, intraocular pressure increases, and the metabolism of the tissues of the eyeball and cornea is disrupted.

Endocrine syndrome is damage to various organs and systems due to damage to the endocrine system. In ophthalmology, endocrine diseases are manifested by damage to the eyeball, adnexa, lacrimal ducts, eyelids, meibomian glands, conjunctiva, lacrimal canaliculi and lacrimal gland. The diseases are accompanied by changes in the function of the organ of vision, which leads to a decrease in visual acuity, loss of visual fields, a decrease in contrast perception, color perception, the development of amblyopia, strabismus, etc.

The causes of hormonal ophthalmopathy may be associated with various endocrine disorders, such as Addison's disease, Cushing's disease, hyperthyroidism, pituitary tumor, polycystic ovary syndrome and others. In some cases, hormonal ophthalmopathy may be a consequence of another disease that affects the function of the endocrine glands. It can also occur as a result of taking various medications that affect the production of hormones in the body.
