Abstract
A logical and comprehensive program for the total ophthalmic rehabilitation of the dysthyroid patient is described. Surgical rehabilitation is always considered in four stages: orbital decompression, extraocular muscle surgery, eyelid margin repositioning, and blepharoplasty. Each stage must be considered in order. By observance of this protocol, repeat surgical procedures can be minimized.
