Improvement of clinical parameters of the operated eyes and fellow eyes after treatment in patients with bilateral DON.

	Improvement of operated eye, N = 23	Improvement of fellow eye, N = 23
BCVA	0.5 ± 0.59	0.2 ± 0.34	0.046
IOP (mmHg)	4.4 ± 6.79	0.0 ± 5.71	0.021
Proptosis (mm)	4.3 ± 2.52	1.4 ± 1.94	＜0.001
Upper eyelid retraction (mm)	1.3 ± 1.12	0.6 ± 0.67	0.003
CAS	0.8 ± 1.37	0.9 ± 1.28	0.771

Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed ranks sum test between the eyes before and after treatment. Paired t-test between the eyes before and after treatment. DON: dysthyroid optic neuropathy; BCVA: best corrected visual acuity; IOP: intraocular pressure; CAS: clinical activity score.
