Thyroid Eye Disease
Thyroid eye disease is an autoimmune condition that affects the muscles and tissues around the eyes, often associated with thyroid disorders such as hyperthyroidism. It can cause symptoms like eye bulging, dryness, irritation, double vision, and swelling. In more severe cases, it may affect vision if not properly managed. Treatment focuses on controlling inflammation, protecting the eyes, and addressing the underlying thyroid imbalance. Options may include medications, lifestyle adjustments, and in some cases, surgical intervention to relieve pressure or correct eye alignment.
