Currently, the only effective method of treatment and rehabilitation of patients with inactive thyroid eye disease (TED) is orbital decompression. This review analyzes the prospects of using prostaglandin analogues (PGF2β) to decrease the volume of orbital fat in order to reduce proptosis and periorbital changes in TED. Despite the fact that the available data on the results of using PGF2β analogues in patients with TED are contradictory, were based on short follow-up periods and involved only a small number of patients, we believe that this topic is a very promising avenue for further research.
