It can be difficult to treat a complicated autoimmune disorder, such as thyroid eye disease, which is why you may need to recruit multiple doctors and experts to your healthcare team if you have the condition.
Thyroid eye disease is also known as Graves’ ophthalmopathy, in part because it commonly goes hand in hand with Graves’ disease, which causes an overactive thyroid. In many cases, people have to treat both diseases at the same time. Those whose condition is mild may experience redness, tearing, and dry eye due to inflammation, while people in the later stages can experience eye bulging and even vision loss.
