The levator function and exophthalmometer reading were measured on each side of 81 patients with Graves' eye disease (GED) and 111 normal subjects. There was a significant positive correlation between the levator function and exophthalmometer reading for both GED patients and normal subjects. This indicates that the forward position of the eye chronically stretches the levator muscle by the addition of sarcomeres which increases the range of movement of the lid. The range of movement may be decreased in patients with Graves' eye disease, from inflammation, such as is seen with other extraocular muscles. This effect is most likely to be marked in the patient with compressive optic neuropathy.
对81例格雷夫斯眼病（GED）患者和111名正常受试者的每一侧进行提上睑肌功能和突眼计读数测量。GED患者和正常受试者的提上睑肌功能与突眼计读数之间均存在显著正相关。这表明，眼睛的前位通过增加肌节长期拉伸提上睑肌，从而增加眼睑的活动范围。格雷夫斯眼病患者的活动范围可能因炎症而减小，其他眼外肌也可见这种情况。这种影响在患有压迫性视神经病变的患者中最可能较为明显。
