Primary Outcome Measures:
- Comparing the effectiveness of subconjunctival and peribulbar Triamcinolone injection to systemic Steroid therapy for patients with active thyroid orbitopathy . [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
Every month, each participant will undergo several tests : blood sugar, full ocular examination, color test, visual field and ultrasound test for measuring the thickness of extraocular muscles.Clinical activity score for thyroid orbitopathy will be assesed too. The results of the clinical and ultrasonogrophic findings will determine the effectiveness of the treatment.
A patient with deterioration of thyroid orbitopathy during the research, will be treated by systemic Steroids in addition to the local injections.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- To check if the level of TSH Receptor antibodies are affected by the local injection. [ Time Frame: 4 months ]A blood test for TSH Receptor antibodies will be taken for every patient at the beginnig of the research and after 4 months.

Detailed Description:
Local Steroid treatment may help in active thyroid orbitopathy. till today, systemic Steroids are the treatment for active thyroid orbitopathy which is associated with systemic adverse effects.
In this study the investigators want to compare the effectiveness of local Triamcinolone therapy for active thyroid orbitopathy.
