Thyroid and eye related.
Hello doctor! I am on medicines for hyperthyroid since past 5 months. So my physician told me this side effect of hyperthyroid where the eye balls come a little out. That happened with me, not very severe though. From past 2 months both my eyes started to swell on the eye-lid area and eye-bags occurred below my eyes.
Now I can see the difference in my eyes, in a way that one of them is back to normal (no swelling), but the other one is still swelled up. Why such a difference? Also, I read about eye thyroid. I hope I don't have that yet. Do you think it's something to worry about? Will both the eyes get back to normal with hyperthyroid medicines or not?
Please help!
Thanks.
