A: Asymmetrical proptosis, more marked in the right eye. Although unilateral proptosis sometimes occurs in Graves disease, further imaging may be needed to exclude diagnoses such as orbital tumour.

B: Patient attempting to look up, showing tethering of the left eye by swollen inferior external ocular muscles, slight proptosis and lid retraction (with sclera visible above the iris of the left eye) and some infiltrative swelling above the inner canthus of each eye.

C: Marked bilateral proptosis with lid retraction and conjunctival injection indicating active inflammatory ophthalmopathy.
