Abstract. Relevance. Despite the well-documented clinical manifestations of endocrine ophthalmopathy (EOP), unresolved issues remain regarding the potential combinations of various disease symptoms related to an increase in orbital soft tissue volume and elevated intraorbital pressure, as well as their impact on visual function. Purpose of the study. To study the prevalence of clinical and morphometric signs of glaucoma in patients with EOP accompanied by ocular hypertension. Materials and methods. TThe study included 38 patients (76 eyes) with EOP accompanied by ocular hypertension. Ophthalmological examination, in addition to standard ophthalmological methods, included optical coherence tomography (OCT) with assessment of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness and ganglion cell layer thickness. Results. The analysis of the prevalence of OCT signs of glaucoma in patients with EOP and ocular hypertension shows that the most common changes are a decrease in RNFL thickness (64.47%) and the presence of specific defects in this layer (53.95%). Although specific defects and thinning of the retinal ganglion cell layer were identified in a smaller number of patients (36.84% and 43.42%, respectively), these indicators also play an important role in assessing the degree of retinal nerve cell damage. Conclusion. The data emphasize the importance of regular monitoring of RNFL and retinal ganglion cell layers in patients with EOP and ocular hypertension. OCT is an indispensable tool for detecting early signs of glaucoma and monitoring diseaseprogression, allowing timely treatment adjustments and preventing further deterioration of visual function.
