Thyroid-Related Eye Disease

A condition called Dysthyroid Ophthalmopathy or Graves' disease may cause the eyes to bulge forward (Exophthalmos) and the eyelids to become puffy or to retract (lagophthalmos), making the eyes appear larger.

This condition may result in double vision, severe inflammation, discomfort, dry or watery eyes, corneal abrasions, infections, and possibly loss of vision. If necessary, surgery for thyroid eye disease may involve expanding the bones of the eye socket to allow the bulging eye to fall back. Muscle surgery can then be performed to alleviate double vision. Finally, eyelid surgery isperformedas the last stage of treatment whereby the eyelids are lowered. This will yield a more natural, pleasing appearance and reduce the risk of eye-related complications.
