Graves' orbitopathy is a common complication of Graves' disease. The mild form dominates, whereas moderate to severe and sight threatening forms are rarer. They require quick, adequate care, involving cooperation between county hospitals and the regional hospital, and adequate diagnostics and choice of treatments of treatments. A new national guideline for hyperthyroidism has been published in Sweden in January 2023, where these aspects are highlighted. The present guideline requires implementation regionally, as all components are not in place, but reflects the needs of patients. This article highlights important aspects for patients such as information, to be listened to, accessibility and adequate care, but also defines actions necessary in primary care where patients most often seek help at first. Lastly, important medical and practical aspects are reviewed by the endocrinologist and the ophthalmologist.
