Preface: Endocrinologic Disorders and Their Relationship With Ophthalmic Findings.

This issue of the International Ophthalmology Clinics focuses on endocrinologic disorders and their relationship with ophthalmic findings. The issue primarily deals with disorders involving the pituitary and thyroid glands in relation to ophthalmic pathology. The pituitary gland neighbors the optic chiasm, and chiasmal pathology is often the initial sign of central nervous system pathology. Preferential loss of the temporal visual field is often the first sign of a chiasmal disorder. We highlight chiasmal disorders with respect to visual symptoms in this issue. Although many ocular conditions are managed solely by the ophthalmologist, the disorders discussed in this issue are often best treated by a multidisciplinary team. One example of this type of approach is the Baylor College of Medicine Pituitary Center (https://www.bcm.edu/healthcare/care-centers/pituitary-center), which was created to form a multispecialty center to care for the array of disorders that often occur in patients with sellar and suprasellar lesions. The Pituitary Center features a team of physicians drawn from several medical specialties that are most relevant to pituitary disorders, including neurosurgery, endocrinology, otolaryngology, neuroophthalmology, and radiation oncology. Each member of the team has particular expertise in the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of pituitary disorders. This may facilitate discussion among the multispecialty group, which can be particularly helpful in patients with complex issues. Another area that often requires care involving multiple specialists is thyroid eye disease. Patients with thyroid eye disease are often treated by multiple physicians who may perform similar procedures (orbital decompression and eyelid surgery) but may have somewhat different views of how they can be accomplished. So, while some of the content may be redundant, we intentionally left it so to point out how there may be differences in approach based on the specialty. This is particularly highlighted by the discussion of orbital decompression, where the views
