Material and methods: 55 literature sources were analyzed. Results: The comparative evaluation of the efficacy of various schemes and methods of treatment of endocrine ophthalmopathy was carried out. Conclusions: One of the priorities in fighting endocrine ophthalmopathy is the search for new methods of treatment, as well as the improvement of existing schemes and programs.
