Summary

This study uses a non-invasive eye tracker to measure how well people with Thyroid-Associated Ophthalmopathy (TAO) can move their eyes and pay attention to faces. Researchers will compare 100 participants, including patients and healthy volunteers, to see if the disease causes measurable differences in eye stability and scanning patterns. The goal is to better understand the physical and social impact of TAO, which could help guide future treatments.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could provide objective measures to better understand and monitor how thyroid eye disease affects eye movement and social interaction.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early observational study, not a treatment trial. The findings may not lead to direct clinical changes or apply to all patients.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Aged between 18 and 70 years, inclusive. * Willing and able to provide written informed consent. * Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) ≥ 1.0 in both eyes, with no history of ocular diseases or thyroid disorders. Exclusion Criteria: * Non-TAO Ocular Motility Disorders: History of conditions like myasthenia gravis, cranial nerve palsy, or congenital strabismus. * Neurological Diseases: Disorders affecting oculomotor control (e.g., Parkinson's, MS, stroke, or brain tumors). * Significant Visual Impairment: BCVA \< 0.5 due to media opacities or retinopathy, preventing clear visualization of stimuli. * Prior Ocular Surgery: History of surgeries affecting extraocular muscle mechanics (e.g., strabismus surgery, scleral buckling). * Psychiatric or Cognitive Disorders: Inability to follow instructions or conditions affecting eye movements (e.g., schizophrenia). * Medication Interference: Use of drugs affecting reaction time (e.g., sedatives) within 48 hours of testing.
