Tear deficient dry eye
If a patient with exophthalmic eyes due to thyroid disease requires a toric lens:
1) It will be forcibly expelled from the eye due to the bulging eyeball
2) It may dehydrate excessively due to the lid retraction and dry eye condition that often accompanies
thyroid disease
3) Stability will be difficult to maintain since there are no lid forces to keep the lens in position
4) The ¨watermelon seed¨ principle will help to keep the lens in position - CORRECT ANSWERS-2 and
3...
