The ocular manifestations in 125 thyrotoxic patients observed for 6–20 years are presented. The incidence and development of ophthalmopathy in three different treatment group medical‐ (η = 72), radionuclear (η = 36) and surgical (η = 17) are showed. The degree of ophthalmopathy is similar in all groups, and no statistically significant difference is found in the development of ophthalmopathy.
