A 25-year-old woman presented to our hospital with sudden onset of blurred vision in her right eye. The patient had a history of Graves' disease and had started methimazole 20 mg daily 2 months earlier: investigations at that time had found her free tri-iodothyronine concentration at 13·60 pg/mL (normal 1·71–3·71), free thyroxine 2·93 ng/dL (normal 0·70–1·48), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) of 0·01 μU/mL (normal 0·35–4·94), and TSH-receptor antibody of 11·4 IU/L (normal 0·0–1·9).
