Thyroid eye disease is a complex entity and may present in many forms in patients. It is best to consult an Oculoplasty surgeon regarding this at the earliest and maintain followup on regular basis for proper documentation of the disease stage and progression. Management varies depending on the activity and stage of disease and your Oculoplasty surgeon will be the best person to advise you on what is to be done.
Health Tips
Use artificial tear drops regularly as most patients with thyroid eye disease suffer from dry eyes.
