• Compressive optic neuropathy, often heralded by dyschromatopsia, decreased vision, and/or visual field defects, is considered an ophthalmic emergency requiring immediate treatment.
• Dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON) occurring in the setting of TED is due to inflammation and congestion of the orbital apex, which compresses the blood supply of the optic nerve within the bony orbit.
• DON is surgically treated with orbital decompression to relieve the pressure on the optic nerve and blood supply.
• This is often performed in combination with systemic intravenous corticosteroids.
