First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether injecting triamcinolone acetonide into the eyelid could help people with thyroid eye disease who have a retracted upper eyelid. Fifteen adults received a combination of two injections and were measured one month later. The goal was to see if the eyelid position improved, which could ease eye discomfort and cosmetic concerns.
