The Purpose of the study was to evaluate the association between thyroid -stimulating hormone (TSH), free tri-iodothyronine (T3), free thyroxine (T4), hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism and age related macular degeneration (ARMD) incidence. Nine hundred and fifty patients with thyroid disorders versus five hundred and thirty eu-thyroid subjects were included in the study during the period from January 2014 to February 2019. Blood pressure, blood sugar level and cholesterol, smoking state were estimated. TSH, T3&T4 were measured. Retinal photography and optical coherence tomography were performed. Patients with hyperthyroidism had increased incidence of ARMD. Patients using thyroxine had also increased incidence of ARMD than non using of thyroxine. There were statistically higher significant percent of marriage, educational level and smoking in patients with thyroid disorders with ARMD than euthyroid (p=0.03. 0.06, 0.001 respectively). In thyroid disorders patients, there were a significant differences between patients had ARMD or had not as regard diabetes, hypertension and cholesterol level (p=0.04, 0.09, 0.03 respectively). We concluded that there were increased incidence of ARMD in both hyperthyroidism, and patients use the thyroxine.
