5. Women of childbearing age must use effective contraceptive measures.
6. At the time of screening, hyperthyroidism in the study subjects should be basically controlled. Thyroid function should be normal or only mildly abnormal, defined as FT4 and FT3 levels within 50% of the upper and lower limits of the normal range. Mild thyroid dysfunction should be corrected as much as possible, and a normal thyroid function state should be maintained throughout the clinical trial period.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Pregnant women, women who are breastfeeding, or women planning to become pregnant during the trial period.
2. Severe cardiac diseases such as myocardial infarction, unstable angina, and chronic heart failure.
3. Known liver diseases, or alanine transaminase (ALT) levels more than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal.

8. Significant anemia (hemoglobin levels \<110 g/L in males, \<100 g/L in females).
9. Patients with psychiatric disorders, or those who are non-cooperative.
10. Individuals with optic nerve involvement requiring orbital decompression surgery. Defined as a decrease in vision by more than two lines in the past six months, or new visual field defects, or color vision deficiencies.
