Response to tocilizumab treatment in Graves' ophthalmopathy by measuring rectus muscle thickness and chemosis using optical coherence tomography.

CONCLUSIONS: A reduction in extraocular muscle thickness and chemosis was observed after treatment with tocilizumab in Graves' ophthalmopathy patients using an optical coherence tomography, so this technique could be a useful complementary technique to assess the therapeutic responses.
