IVMP is effective for both short- and long-term treatment to improve visual acuity greater than proptosis. Older age, longer disease duration, poor initial visual acuity, and proptotic orbits were identified as risk factors for predicting poor response to IVMP treatment in Thai population. DON patients having those risk factors should be suspected, and treated early with IVMP to preserve their future vision.
